Biophysical Society 59th Annual Meeting | Exhibitor Prospectus
MAXIMIZE YOUR BOOTH TRAFFIC WITH ON-SITE PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Marketing Opportunities
Increasing the visibility of your company is vital to taking full advantage of your
exhibitor experience. The Biophysical Society provides several methods to maximize
your exposure to attendees, before, during, and after the Annual Meeting.
Pre- and Post- Show Marketing
On-Site Marketing
Monthly Newsletter Advertising
Program Guide Advertising
Take advantage of the Annual Meeting
information we are disseminating to
members! The members are reading this
every month to learn more about the Annual
Meeting – you are a part of that meeting!
Reach every attendee by advertising in the
Annual Meeting Program! The program is
distributed onsite and used extensively by
attendees throughout the Annual Meeting.
This book remains a valuable product/service
reference long after the meeting is over.
On-Line Product Guide
Exhibitor Presentations
Our Online Product Guide is the perfect
way to show your product to attendees all
year long—like having a Printed Program
Guide at their internet fingertips! This is our
comprehensive buyer’s resource that provides
any web user with a live, fully searchable list
of suppliers and products 24/7.
(Exclusively to 2015 Exhibitors)
This year’s Exhibitor Presentations will take
place inside the Exhibit Hall! An Exhibitor
Presentation offers an excellent opportunity
to display and demonstrate your products in a
more personalized setting. You will have use
of one of the meeting rooms for 90 minutes.
Membership Mailing Lists
Product Showcase
Ensure that our entire membership knows
you will be exhibiting at the Annual Meeting!
Let them see exactly what you have to offer
them! We can customize a mailing list for
your needs.
(Exclusively to 2015 Exhibitors)
Researchers attend the Annual
Meeting looking for the latest technologies.
Feature your new products in the New
Product Showcase on display in the front of
the Exhibit Hall.
Pre Show Attendee Mailing Lists
Individual Hotel Room Drop
(Exclusively to 2015 Exhibitors)
One of the BEST traffic builders is to send a
postcard to attendees with an offer that they
need to bring to your booth to redeem! This
announces that you will be at the Meeting
and entices them to your booth.
(Exclusively to 2015 Exhibitors)
Have your promotional piece
delivered directly to attendees hotel rooms.
This is a one-time door drop at official BPS
hotels. Contact exhibits@biophysics.org for
available hotel locations.
Post-Show Attendee Mailing Lists
(Exclusively to 2015 Exhibitors)
Stay in touch! Don’t let those connections you
made forget about you. Reach out again to
those you met, those who may not have had
a chance to stop by, or those you were too
busy to speak with.

“The Biophysical Society has
opened the doors for us to a
