Technology and Training Forums

In 2009, the Society For Biomaterials will again offer sponsors the opportunity to host Technology and Training Forums. "T&T Forums" are intended to be technical-based educational opportunities for members/attendees of the SFB Annual Meeting. The forums may be hosted by corporations (e.g., sponsors and exhibitors) or federal government agencies, and they should focus on technology and training. Programs may consist of a "how-to" session, or expose participants to new guidance documents, standards or government initiatives. T&T Forums are not intended to be sales or marketing opportunities and SFB reserves the right to decline a T&T Forum proposal that includes a competitive comparison or resembles an "infomercial." T&T Forum hosts receive:

• Theater style seating for up to 250 attendees in an SFB-assigned meeting room
• LCD projector and laptop
• Podium microphone
• Promotion of the forum in the Final Program book
• One complimentary use of the Society For Biomaterials membership list and pre-registrant mailing list to advertise the session being held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting
• Table in rear of room for handouts

Additional meeting room/speaker needs will be the responsibility of the T&T Forum host and all arrangements must be made directly with the convention center. All expenses for the speaker(s) and handout materials will be the responsibility of the T&T Forum host. For more information visit the T&T Forum link at the top of this prospectus.
