Recordings of the presentations, including sponsored symposia if wished, will be accessible post-event.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:87.85pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Sponsored symposia</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:59.6pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Webinar</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Spring/ Autumn</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>(virtual)</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>SIG or Trainee meeting (virtual)</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Nation or Region meeting (virtual)</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:87.85pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Sponsored symposia</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:59.6pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">Not available</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">From £5,000+ VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£2,500+ VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£2,500 + VAT</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:87.85pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Spotlight sessions (2 per day max)</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:59.6pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£750+ VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£2,500</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£1,250+ VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£1,250+ VAT</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:87.85pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Stand sponsorship</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:59.6pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">Not available</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£500 + VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£500 + VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£500 + VAT</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:87.85pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm"><strong>Livestreaming package partner package</strong></p> </td> <td style="width:59.6pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£1,250+ VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£2,500</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£1,250+ VAT</p> </td> <td style="width:58.8pt"> <p style="margin-left:0cm">£1,250+ VAT</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="card-view-3"> <div class="view view-faqs view-id-faqs view-display-id-qa_additional view-dom-id-b788bd672992c1446e8ff49fc7dccda0"> <div class="view-content view-content-main"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first"> <div class="faq-question"> <div class="card-qa-question"> Virtual events: SIG meeting partner packages </div> <div class="card-qa-answer"> <p> The virtual SIG meeting partner package costs £2,500 plus VAT and includes:</p> <ul> <li>Satellite symposium -

Successful sponsors will be able to present an educational programme relevant to the themes of the meeting, subject to review and discussion from the BGS Meetings Committee. Partnership packages can be tailored to your company’s own needs. All delegates attending will be encouraged to attend the symposia and visit the exhibition stands. </p> <p>Our Special Interest Group meetings also support symposia. Sponsors will be able to present a 30 minute session relevant to the special interest area,  subject to review and discussion from the SIG.</p> <p>Please see the downloadable pdf for more details</p> <h3><a id="Livestreaming" name="Livestreaming"></a><a href="#Livestreaming">#Livestreaming</a> and post-event resources</h3> <p>With pressures on study leave and study budgets, online access to continuing professional development (CPD) and BGS services becomes more and more important. Via introducing family-friendly events, Livestreaming content and publishing post-event resources the challenges facing HCPs can be addressed. Sponsors can support the live streaming of content, and the provision of the recordings via the BGS website with our Educational support options.</p> <h3><a href="#Stands">#Stands</a><a id="Stands" name="Stands"></a></h3> <p>Most of our meetings accept stand sponsorship. The exhibition and poster presentations are a key part of our meetings. Stands are organised in layouts designed to maximise footfall to stands. Catering points, posters, and seating will be included across the exhibition space to better draw attendees to interact with you. Stand prices are standardised across meetings and you can find more details including costs in the downloadable pdf.</p> <h3>Additional items for Supporters </h3> <p>The BGS welcomes opportunities to discuss, with potential partners, ways in which we might collaborate on opportunities beyond the conference. Options include supporting making the content available online, sponsorship of wifi or other services needed at the meeting, to inserts in the delegate packs.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-2 views-row-even"> <div class="faq-question"> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-3 views-row-odd"> <div class="faq-question"> <div class="card-qa-question"> Why participate? </div> <div class="card-qa-answer"> <ul> <li>Benefit from attending a flagship event for healthcare of older people and demonstrate your brand to over 4,000 members</li> <li>Understand key issues, concerns and challenges facing healthcare specialists working with older people</li> <li>Extend your message and raise the profile of your brand amongst the healthcare professionals</li> <li>Raise awareness of your company as a leader in the healthcare of older people</li> <li>Map new networks of key figures and opinion leaders and gather direct feedback from medical professionals</li> <li>Build stronger relationships based upon a clear understanding of different stakeholder perspectives</li> <li>Become more involved in planning and preparing for future healthcare needs and demands of an ageing society</li> <li>Benchmark with competitors</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-4 views-row-even"> <div class="faq-question"> <div class="card-qa-question"> Who attends our events? </div> <div class="card-qa-answer"> <p>The British Geriatrics Society is a multidisciplinary membership organisation of over 3,900 healthcare professionals who specialise in the care of older people in a variety of hospital and community settings</p> <ul> <li>Consultants and Professors of Geriatric Medicine</li> <li>Specialty Doctors</li> <li>Specialist Registrars (StRs) in Geriatric Medicine and related specialties</li> <li>Nurse Consultants, Nurse Specialists and Advanced Nurse Practitioners</li> <li>GPs and GP Trainees</li> <li>Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Allied Health Professionals</li> <li>Researchers into ageing and age-related conditions</li> <li>Internal Medicine Trainees and Foundation Year Doctors</li> <li>Medical Students</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-5 views-row-odd"> <div class="faq-question"> <div class="card-qa-question"> Supporting multiple meetings </div> <div class="card-qa-answer"> <p>In recognition of commitment to multiple events of the same scale in one booking, we can extend price reductions as below, when booked and invoiced at the same time:</p> <ul> <li>2 - 3 events – 10%</li> <li>3 - 4 events – 12.5%</li> <li>5 + events – 15%</li> </ul> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-6 views-row-even views-row-last"> <div class="faq-question"> <div class="card-qa-question"> Contact </div> <div class="card-qa-answer"> <p>Geraint Collingridge, Director of Learning and Professional Development, <span class="spamspan"><span class="u">g<span class="t"> [dot] </span>collingridge</span> [at] <span class="d">bgs<span class="t"> [dot] </span>org<span class="t"> [dot] </span>uk</span></span>  or call 020 7608 8573</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-10 views-row-even section-row palette-default vid-centre "> <div class="section-inner"> <h2 class="views-field views-field-field-title"> <div class="card-title"> <span class="field-content">Highlights from 2019 Autumn Meeting</span> </div> </h2> <div class="card-video"> <div class="embedded-video"> <div class="player"> <iframe class="" id="vimeo-391180715" width="1920" height="1080" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/391180715?width=1920&height=1080&color=ffffff&portrait=0&title=0&byline=0&autoplay=0&loop=0&player_id=vimeo-391180715" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-11 views-row-odd views-row-last section-row palette-default "> <div class="section-inner"> <h2 class="views-field views-field-field-title"> <div class="card-title"> <span class="field-content">Scam warning</span> </div> </h2> <div class="card-body"> <p>INTERNATIONAL “DIRECTORY” ALERT –  DO NOT GET CAUGHT OUT!</p> <p>If you exhibit in the UK or overseas, whether your company is small or large, you may hear from INTERNATIONAL FAIRS DIRECTORY (IFD), INTER-FAIRS, EXPO-GUIDE, or FAIRGUIDE or CONSTRUCT DATA.</p> <p>This bogus directory and listing scam has been going on for <u><strong>over 25 years, </strong></u>and people are still getting caught by it.</p> <p>You will receive an official-looking form (by email or by post). This may be preceded by a phone call asking to check your details for an exhibition listing.</p> <p>The form will mention your participation in a trade show, and it will appear to have a connection with the organisers of that show. It’s marked “Urgent”, and gives a deadline for return of your company information for an advert in something which appears to be a free online exhibitor listing service or exhibition directory.</p> <p>The catalogue, directory and online listings referred to do not exist.</p> <p>Please warn anyone in your office who opens the post or any emails (including “info@” emails) at your company about this scam . Do not complete and return any of these forms.</p> <p>If you do, you are signing up to a three-year advertising contract in an “International Fairs Directory” or web listing. This will cost hundreds of Euros per year. Signing may also give IFD permission to access images on your website and download them to create “ads” for you. IFD is run by MULPOR Company S.A, of Costa Rica (or any other address they may be using). The detail of what you’re signing up for is in the very small print at the bottom of the form, or in the blurb on the reverse.</p> <p>If you sign and return these forms, even if you realise your mistake and try to cancel the order, you will receive an invoice. Non-payment of this (and the other invoices which will follow) will result in persistent chasing by “debt collectors”. You should not pay, as you will not be getting the service to which they refer. Ignore any letters and invoices you may receive, and don’t get involved in any conversations on the phone.</p> <p>Legal proceedings have been brought against Inter-Fairs Directory, Expo-Guide, Fairguide, Mulpor and Construct Data all over the world. Many actions have been successful… but this just results in the company springing up again under a new name and in a new jurisdiction. The latest of these is IFD/Mulpor, of Costa Rica.</p> <p>Be careful to check everything thoroughly before you sign any forms! Make sure that only a Director or nominated signatory in your company can sign for and sign off any directory entries. Thousands of people and companies have been caught out, and have experienced the hassle of dealing with Expo-Guide and Fairguide/Construct Data (and now IFD).</p> <p>Make absolutely certain that you are completing only legitimate forms from the organisers of any exhibition in which you are participating.</p> <p>If you do get caught out, you should report this to the Government’s Anti-Fraud office, Action Fraud, which is run by the City of London Police – follow this link</p> <p><a href="https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/a-z-of-fraud/business-directory-fraud">https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/a-z-of-fraud/business-directory-fraud</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </section> <aside id="sidebar-second" role="complementary" class="sidebar"> <div class="sidebar-second-wrapper"> <section class="block block-views"> <div class="view view-sections view-id-sections view-display-id-sidebar view-dom-id-3b424cbc4d8402cf9121c86e774fa873"> <div class="view-content view-content-main"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first row-max-4 side-row "> <div class="section-inner"> <div class="card-title"> <h2 class="field-content">About BGS</h2> </div> <div class="side-row-wrapper"> <div class="card-view"> <div class="view view-links view-id-links view-display-id-block equal-heights view-dom-id-bd9597cd425877b1c1409e1616225022"> <div class="view-content view-content-main"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <article id="node-4185" class="node node-page" about="/about/become-a-member-of-the-bgs" typeof="foaf:Document"> <a href="/about/become-a-member-of-the-bgs" class="card"> <div class="card-image-wrapper"> <div class="card-image"> <picture >  <source srcset="https://www.bgs.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/grid-6-wide/public/content/page/images/2018-05-10/BGS%20-%20Aug%202016%20-%20233.jpg?itok=P3VNB-VU&timestamp=1525958983 1x" media="(min-width: 75em)" /> <source srcset="https://www.bgs.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/grid-6-normal/public/content/page/images/2018-05-10/BGS%20-%20Aug%202016%20-%20233.jpg?itok=Zi3lnzmw&timestamp=1525958983 1x" media="(min-width: 60em)" /> <source srcset="https://www.bgs.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/grid-6-narrow/public/content/page/images/2018-05-10/BGS%20-%20Aug%202016%20-%20233.jpg?itok=di7txVCi&timestamp=1525958983 1x" media="(min-width: 45em)" /> <source srcset="https://www.bgs.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/grid-6-mobile/public/content/page/images/2018-05-10/BGS%20-%20Aug%202016%20-%20233.jpg?itok=JK5BIda2&timestamp=1525958983 1x" media="(min-width: 0em)" />  <img src="https://www.bgs.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/grid-6-mobile/public/content/page/images/2018-05-10/BGS%20-%20Aug%202016%20-%20233.jpg?itok=JK5BIda2&timestamp=1525958983" alt="Become a member of the BGS" title="" /> </picture> </div> </div> <div class="card-text"> <h3><div class="card-title-field"> Become a member of the BGS </div> </h3> <div class="card-summary-wrapper"> <p>Find out more about becoming a member of the BGS, who can join, and how to join.</p> </div> </div> </a> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-2 views-row-even views-row-last side-row "> <div class="section-inner"> <div class="card-title"> <h2 class="field-content">Skip to</h2> </div> <div class="side-row-wrapper"> <div class="card-body"> <ul> <li><a href="/events/sponsorship#Spring%20Autumn">2022 Hybrid</a> <a href="/events/sponsorship#Spring%20Autumn">Spring and Autumn Meeting Packages</a></li> <li><a href="/events/sponsorship#Special%20Interest%20Group%20Meeting%20Packages">2022 Hybrid</a> <a href="/events/sponsorship#Special%20Interest%20Group%20Meeting%20Packages">Special Interest Group Meeting Packages</a></li> <li><a href="/events/sponsorship#Local%20Meetings%20packages">2022 Hybrid</a> <a href="/events/sponsorship#Local%20Meetings%20packages">Local Meetings packages </a></li> <li><a href="http://eepurl.com/gRMfKv" rel="nofollow">Subscribe for updates</a></li> <li><a href="/events/sponsorship#Symposia">Symposia</a></li> <li><a href="/events/sponsorship#Stands">Stands</a></li> <li><a href="/events/sponsorship#Livestreaming">P</a><a href="/events/sponsorship#Livestreaming">ost event resources</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </aside> </div> </main> <footer id="site-footer" role="contentinfo"> <section class="footer-first"> <div class="outer-wrapper"> <section class="block block-views"> <div class="view view-footer-sections view-id-footer_sections view-display-id-orgs view-display-grid view-dom-id-3ca030efe8f5919ed84d016467378cb1"> <div class="view-header"> <script> if(jQuery('#Main.CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main').length > 0){ jQuery('#Main.CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main').on('submit',function(e){ setTimeout(function(){ e.preventDefault();
