To reach the sponsorship level the following amounts are taken into consideration:
A certain number of exhibitor badges are automatically included depending on the sponsorship level.
Please note that depending on the congress, the booth construction might be taken into consideration within the sponsorship level. However, in most cases, this is an additional product and does not count towards a sponsorship.
If you would like to book a booth only without any other products, we recommend booking a booth with "standard sponsorship" required. This means that no minimum investment required to book the booth.

Governing Law
The construction, validity and performance of the present terms are exclusively governed by the laws of France (which is the home country of the mother company COMEXPOSIUM HEALTHCARE) without reference or regard to principles of conflicts of law. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of France, located in Paris.
Depending on multiple aspects (i.e. country regulations, type of products, target audience), companies in healthcare, pharmaceutical and medical device industries often develop internal compliance terms which adapt to the regulatory environment, moderate risks and enhance confidence between customers, suppliers and investors.
These terms are gathered into what we - at IMCAS - call a Corporate Internal Compliance Service Policy (CICSP).
CICSP are all different and may take the form of "Purchase Order", "Service Agreement", etc…Additionally, they might comprise 3 pages or 50 pages, and might include complex legal terms or sentences. Thus, nowadays, it becomes rather impossible for our team to review each sentence and get sure no one sentence or word supersede our own Terms and Conditions of Sale.
This is why, in any of external documents that involve IMCAS products:
Please see the steps below to complete an order:
1. Once the formal decision to switch from physical/hybrid to virtual has been announced:

Nota: speakers involved in sponsored activities may be considered by the IMCAS Scientific Board to speak or to chair in other scientific session(s). IMCAS considers that such scientific sessions do not enter in conflict with any sponsorship agreement and that speakers should not be restricted to speak only within designated sponsored sessions.
Otherwise, a speaker may submit an abstract as an independent speaker (i.e. not related to a company in any way) HERE for the Scientific Board's consideration. The Guidelines and Conflict of Interest Policy should be carefully read before any abstract submission.
Should the abstract be selected, the corresponding lecture will be inserted within the scientific program. The abstract status can be checked on the speaker account.

IMCAS is a congress created by physicians, for physicians (Medical Doctors). Access to the congress and sessions is subject to a number of regulations that aim to guarantee the scientific independence of the congress and preserve it from any commercial bias or influence. A precise badge policy has been implemented specifying the rules of admittance to the different areas of the congress, complying with the criteria required by the CME accreditation organizations and scientific society partners.
According to each badge type, a full or partial access is issued (after verification of required supporting documents). In this regard, in respect of the local policies towards medical aesthetic treatments, no admittance to the congress sessions is allowed for dentists. IMCAS is authorized to take measures which may lead to the withdrawal of the badge and the denial of access to the congress area if the badge policy is violated.
Consequently, no speaking activities in the congress sessions (i.e., all scientific sessions, symposia, live demonstrations, and industry guest lectures) is allowed for dentists.
Nota: an "Industry speaker" badge is automatically provided for industry speakers invited by an exhibiting company. That badge grants access to the sponsored sessions and the exhibition hall only.
Should industry speakers want to have access to the scientific sessions, an additional registration is mandatory. The company can register industry speakers for a full-access badge directly through their online company account.
Presentation(s) must be uploaded at the Club Lounge/Preview room*. You can find its location on the congress exhibition map.
Important points to take into consideration:
We remind you that IMCAS holds the copyright to all educational materials presented or derived from its meetings, such as: video recordings of live demonstrations / symposia / handouts / posters / abstracts / presentation synopses. The information presented during IMCAS congresses may not be published or broadcasted in any media in its original format (except for news releases).
Consequently, all sponsored sessions such as live demos, symposia, and guest lectures are derivative products of IMCAS and the property of IMCAS.
Each speaker is requested to submit their declaration of consent prior to their presentation on whether they agree to be recorded so that the corresponding video can be published on IMCAS Academy.
Each approved video is edited by our AV team (video, quality, lighting, angle, audio, etc.). The AV team also makes sure that every patient in all materials (slides, pictures, demonstration, etc.) demonstrated within the videos are unrecognizable by blurring the patient eyes (or the rest of the face, depending on the procedure).
Bringing in any cameras or devices from an external supplier is required to obtain an approval from IMCAS secretariat and may incur additional costs. In most cases, they should only be used for immediate purpose - no recording for future use is authorized. Contact your sales representative for more information, should you wish to bring in additional AV crew.
Great news! Your sponsored activity can easily be published on IMCAS Academy and reach over 47,000 registered members (and growing).
Keep in mind that for a lecture to be placed in the IMCAS Academy library, the speaker (and patient) must sign a consent form agreeing to its publication.
If you would like to specifically promote your product(s) and studies to the IMCAS Academy community, we suggest organizing a sponsored webinar.

Grants are the way for the industry to support unbiased evidence-based medicine, since the scientific content is entirely developed and chosen by the Scientific Committee. In turn, due to their objective and protected status, these sessions are eligible for CME Accreditation.
Following a session that has been granted, the company will receive a duly completed report with the following :Educational grant sessions are eligible for medical continuous education credits. Therefore, they differ from a sponsored session as they have to comply with the rules of accrediting organizations.
1/ Content The content of an educational grant session is the same as a scientific session. - Studies must be from a strictly scientific and technical perspective. - The lecture title, content and abstract must remain strictly unbiased and cannot contain any product/device/company name nor any brand names. Submissions will be decline if they utilize any materials that have been created by a commercial entity and include promotional messages and/or corporate logos. - The Generic terms or pharmacopeia names should be used and only the technical characteristics of a product/device should be described. - Should you require to make a comparative study, brand names can be stated only if they are stated in comparison with other brand names.
2/ Speaker The speaker must hold a PhD or be a certified physician.
Both content and speaker are chosen and selected by IMCAS Scientific Board, who makes the final decision.
In case of an educational grant with lecture, your company suggests one speaker and one topic. In case of an educational grant with visual support, your support is visible through logo placements online.
In most cases, only 1 company can grant a webinar, however there are a few special webinars with multiple supporters - please check the products available for the date and theme of your choice by checking the product page on IMCAS Academy.

The global health crisis in 2020 has pushed events worldwide to reconsider and switch their format from physical to virtual.
At IMCAS we believe that a physical gathering is crucial for a successful learning experience with meaningful interactions and exchange of ideas, and our conferences aim to remain in the physical format as much as possible.
But, and because "Something good comes out of every crisis" (Dave Pelzer), our physical conferences are now complemented with a complete virtual experience to be delivered as a HYBRID format.
While our signature educational experience with human contact stays at our forefront, we also understand that some participants may not be able to attend the congress physically. Therefore all participants are offered the possibility of switching from a physical badge to a virtual one.
This new HYBRID conference format (physical and virtual) ensures that attendees across the world do not miss any scientific content, and expands your reach as an sponsor as you are no longer limited by the boundaries of your booth space.
Should it be really impossible to hold a physical part of the conference, then the conference will switch to a virtual format. (check chapter 11.3)
For complete explanation about "virtual attendance", please check out our FAQ delegates 4.1.
Depending on the conference format, your participation is as follows:
• If the conference format is "hybrid", the sponsor is to book a physical booth as usual (alongside any other products from the product catalog). They may choose to, and are strongly encouraged to complement their participation with an online presence within the virtual platform
• If the conference format is "virtual", the sponsor will have a uniquely virtual participation to reach their worldwide audiences and customers.
Our sponsor guide clearly states which product are virtually deliverable.
There are still many uncertainties in France and around the world. As an international congress organizer we factor in local governing laws, guidelines of the host country, as well as taking into consideration any restrictions from our attendees’ home countries.
As outlined in Chapter 2.6. Limitation of liability,
any change in format would only result from Force Majeure or in case of failure to meet the pre-determined number of physical registrations. This second safety net is designed to protect your investment as a sponsor by ensuring you always have a full audience for your marketing efforts.
Any change in format will be followed through with clear communication and policies, precise and fair for our speakers, delegates and sponsors.
