Invitation to Supporters

On behalf of the Conference Chairman, Dr Malik Peiris, and the Organizing Committee, I invite you to participate in the largest international conference exclusively devoted to influenza, Options for the Control of Influenza VII.

The threat of an H5N1 pandemic continues and is not diminished by the emergence of the H1N1 swine virus. On the contrary, it highlights the urgent need for continuing and expanding our research of influenza as we assemble comprehensive and effective surveillance, mitigation, and pandemic planning strategies.

Options VII is the largest forum solely focused on the prevention, control, and treatment of influenza. Options VII will highlight the most recent advances in the science of influenza, while furthering global efforts to understand and incorporate this information appropriately. Like its predecessors, the Options VII conference will provide comprehensive scientific guidance for all disciplines involved in influenza prevention, control, and treatment, including seasonal and pandemic planning.

By supporting Options VII, your product or strategies to combat the global threat of influenza will become part of the solutions offered to the international audience who will attend the conference. Options VII delegates will include virologists, infectious disease specialists, physicians, clinicians, scientists, public health specialists, researchers, epidemiologists, healthcare policy makers, and government agency staff. By connecting with such a highly focused audience in the field of infectious disease, support opportunities at Options VII will provide your sales, marketing, and medical liaison teams with face-to-face contact with up to 1200 global leaders in influenza. Your support will demonstrate your corporate commitment to actively pursue the prevention, control, and treatment of influenza.

Options VII activities have been designed to facilitate opportunities for informal discussions and exchange of ideas between representatives of government agencies, academia, and industry. Scientific presentation formats will include keynote addresses, invited lectures, oral abstract presentations, poster sessions, and satellite symposia. The facility in Hong Kong will restrict the number of exhibits available for the 2010 meeting, so sign up early! New for 2010, support packages now permit the purchase
of supplemental conference registrations for the Supporters’ guests, in addition to complimentary Supporter registrations.

We anticipate the 2010 meeting will sell out, so we urge you to act quickly to secure your support package. We invite you to review the packages and maximize your marketing reach by investing in this triennial opportunity to reach a large, multidisciplinary influenza specialty audience. Mark your calendars and confirm your participation in Options for the Control of Influenza VII.

See you in Hong Kong!

Sincerely,
Del Staecker • VP, Conference Resources
