Business Development Opportunities. 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 calls sponsors and exhibitors "partners" because you contribute to the educational content of the meeting. Because the focus of our exhibit area is education, rather than commerce, conference attendees visit exhibits to find out what they can learn. If you confirm your partnership early, a speaking role may be available. Read an article about exhibiting at clinical research conferences. For more information, contact Partner Relations.
