Educational Support Opportunities

Educational Grant in support of an Existing Official Session accepted or invited by the Scientific Committee and supported by a grant from the industry.

As a trusted partner, Kenes Group will take on the responsibility for indirect sponsorship for MDS23. The industry will entrust the Kenes Group and provide educational grants directly, and Kenes Group/Congress will be responsible for participants (HCPs) pre-selection.

Educational Participation Grants of any amount are appreciated and important to the success of MDS23.

Recipients (HCPs) will need to fulfil the criteria specified by Congress  in order to be eligible to apply for an educational participation grant. Accepted grant recipients will be contacted by the Congress Secretariat.

• Support will be acknowledged in the Industry Support and Exhibition section of the program guide, on the event website and application, and with signage during the event.

Kenes e-Posters are a unique combination of scientific posters and interactive content. An e-Poster is an electronic version of the traditional paper poster and is shown at dedicated digital stations at the event.
E-Posters create unique networking and engagement opportunities, generate participants’ interest, and are good exposure for authors. The highly trafficked e-Poster terminals, located in prime locations allow attendees to access the electronic presentations easily and conveniently. E-poster support includes:

• Signage at the entrance to the e-Poster area with “Supported by…” and a company logo only
• Signage, “Supported by…” and a company logo only on each individual e-poster station 
• Support will be acknowledged in the Industry Support and Exhibition section of the program guide, on the event website and application, and with signage during the event.

The Meeting App engages attendees with personalized planning tools and real-time event updates. The App transforms smartphones, tablets, and laptops into tools for active meeting participation and makes it easy for participants to access meeting information to connect with speakers and colleagues. The App includes the scientific program, abstracts, speaker information, participant lists, the rating/voting system for sessions and speakers, and a personalized scheduler. The App can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Meeting App sponsorship support includes:

• Supporter acknowledgement on the splash/pop-up screen of the App: “Supported by: company name/logo” (product logo not permitted)

The ability to attend all conferences, or even all session at a given conference, is impossible for the busy medical professional. Webcasting provides a means of sharing knowledge and learning opportunities beyond the dates of the actual event and thus serves a vital educational need. Materials are saved locally, but at the same time, can be distributed over the web to viewers around the world via a robust cloud server. Viewers can access the broadcasts using PCs, tablets, or smartphones live (as streamed video) or later, as on-demand webcasts.

Kenes offers two types of webcasting options:*

• Video includes a video screen of the speaker during the session, PowerPoint slides (in sync with the speaker), and audio.
• Digital Imaging includes PowerPoint slides with audio.
• Support will be recognized on the home screen with ˝Supported by… ˝ and a company logo only
• Support will be acknowledged in the Industry Support and Exhibition section of the program guide, on the event website and application, and with signage during the event.

*Webcasted sessions to be designated by the Conference Planning Group. Supporters will have no influence on content. ISBD retains the copyright of all of the enduring materials in all media formats  arising from the main meeting, including  the use and distribution rights for webcasting of  all conference accredited programing.

A hybrid event is a solution that combines a ‘live’ in-person event with a ‘virtual’ online audience. A Hybrid is a media presentation distributed over the Internet using streaming media technology to distribute a single content source to many simultaneous listeners/viewers.
