Sponsorship & Exhibition Opportunities
Annual Conference

As well as a significant exhibition running alongside, there are also a number of differernt sponsorship options available.

Other conferences and seminars
Our Open Technical Seminars provide a very cost-effective option, either as an exhibitor or sponsor. At most of these, the only charge to exhibitors is the delegate rate. Lunches, venue provision and other options are generally available for sponsorship at these seminars, and at regional meetings and any other one-off conferences as well.
The calendar of events contains details of all our forthcoming events. In the first instance please contact David Riordan by e-mail to david@bohs.org or by phone on 01332 298101 to confirm that either sponsorship or exhibition opportunities do exist for the particular event, and to negotiate any sponsorship deals. Exhibitors at paid-for seminars can book on-line, if available space at the venue has first been confirmed.

Sponsorship £negotiable
*These are typically the members’/non-members' delegate rates; occasionally a higher charge may be made where the venue costs are not subsidised, or where the delegate rates are higher than this.
