DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE OPPORTUNITIES:

SPEAKING OPPORTUNITES:

Norman Goldfarb, Managing Director,
First Clinical Research LLC

Norm Goldfarb at 650-465-0119 or ngoldfarb@firstclinical.com

SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITES:
If your firm provides solutions to clinical trial sponsors, sites or CROs, a conference partnership offers you the opportunity to increase your visibility and meet decision-makers in a focused audience. MAGI refers to sponsors and exhibitors "partners" because you contribute to the educational content of the meeting. Because the focus of our exhibit area is education as well as commerce, conference attendees visit exhibits to find out what they can learn. If you confirm your partnership early, a speaking role may also be available.

MARKETING/MEDIA STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:
MAGI conferences are marketed to many of the same business executives who read leading industry publications; or belong to industry associations. If your publication or association is regularly reaching out to the same types of executives who attend our events, we would like to discuss the various strategic partnerships and barter packages that can give you greater visibility with our mutually desired audience.
