SPONSORSHIP EXHIBITION PROSPECTUS
The Australian and New Zealand Society for Mass Spectrometry (ANZSMS) will hold their 26th biannual Conference in July, 2017.The ANZSMS brings together a broad spectrum of scientists who work with mass spectrometry. The aim of the Society is to promote mass spectrometry by providing contact with local and international leaders in all areas, and provide a forum, through its meetings, for the presentation of research in mass spectrometry and its related disciplines. ANZSMS26 is the premier conference for mass spectrometry in the Australia & New Zealand region and the latest in a series of conferences dating back to 1971.
It is with great delight that I offer you the opportunity to sponsor ANZSMS26. Your sponsorship presents a greatchance for you and your organisation to engage with key stakeholders from across Australia and internationally. The conference, exhibition and associated social events provide fantastic opportunities for networking, building relationships and marketing your organisation.
ANZSMS26 will be held in Adelaide, South Australia. Known for its award winning wine, stunning coastlines and its many events & festivals, Adelaide is the perfect destination to host the 2017 Conference. The ANZSMS26 Sponsorship & Exhibition Prospectus has been carefully thought out and I am confident that you will find a package to suit your requirements, however we are also open to tailoring a package specific to your needs.
Participants of ANZSMS26 will discuss contemporary aspects of mass spectrometry relating to chemistry, geology, forensics, biological sciences and physics. Recent advances in the development of innovative mass spectrometric techniques and instrumentation will also feature in this not to be missed event.
The organising committee looks forward to welcoming sponsors & exhibitors to Adelaide in 2017 to experience stimulating scientific discussion in this vibrant location.
