Stands and sponsorship

Thank you very much for considering the sponsorship/exhibitor options for the British Society of Gerontology Annual Conference hosted by Newcastle and Northumbria University from 1 to 3 July 2015. We hope you will choose to support this important event. Payment for stands or sponsor options can be made through the web store.

Exhibition stands

All exhibition stand prices include one table and two chairs. The stand price includes refreshments on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for two staff. If you require lunches during the event then these can be selected in addition to the stand price.

Sponsorship opportunities

The BSG provides a multidisciplinary forum for all those interested in the situations of older people, and in how knowledge about ageing and later life can be enhanced and improved. We are celebrating our 44th Annual Conference and as such we hope you will support the British Society of Gerontology further by sponsoring one of the options below.

If you choose to take up one of our sponsorship opportunities you will in return get full recognition in the conference programme, on the conference website and on the announcement slide at the conference opening.

We have split the cost of some of the sponsorship opportunities so that there is a range of prices available, allowing greater flexibility for contributing to the conference.

We would be happy to create bespoke stand and sponsorship packages depending on your budget, so please contact us if you are interested in supporting this event to discuss the options available.

Exhibitor Location at Conference

The exhibition tables will be located in the Business and Law Building of Northumbria University.  All conference stands will be in the main entrance of the conference facilities ensuring plenty of footfall from conference delegates so is a prime opportunity for exhibitors to market their company or organisation. Exhibitors can see the location of the exhibition tables in the BSG Exhibition space. These are the green-shaded rectangles and are located near to the registration desk and the poster boards as well as the catering rooms.

Exhibitor and sponsorship payment

Payment for the exhibitor requirements and/or sponsorship options can be made through the University of Newcastle Online Store. In order to make a payment, you will need to register with the web store. You can then select the option(s) you wish to sponsor and/or the option to exhibit with a stand space. Additional exhibitor options to have inserts in the conference packs or to have a logo on the conference website are also available.

If you intend to have a stand space at the conference, please also select if you would like to have lunches and/or dinners. Once you have made your selections, you will be taken through to a payment page.
