Advertising Opportunities
Raise your company's profile at The 23rd Annual Symposium of The Protein Society by securing advertising space in the official Program and Abstracts book. This guide is distributed to all attendees, and is used as a valuable information tool during and even after the symposium. The guide contains: meeting schedules, venue map, poster abstracts, and most importantly company product information. By placing an advertisement you will be adding another dimension to your company's presence along with another opportunity to reach this very targeted group of Protein scientists. Additionally, you can further expand your visibility by taking advantage of "combination discounts" by placing ads in both the program book and the Society's monthly journal, Protein Science. For futher information please visit on line at www.proteinsociety.org

Web Link
Your company will be listed on The Protein Society 2009 Symposium Exhibit Floor plan.  For only $190, you can incorporate your homepage address on The Protein Society 2009 Meeting page.  Just supply us with your company's official address (URL) on the exhibit space application and we will do the rest!
