Educational Support Opportunities

Educational Grant in support of an Existing Official Session accepted or invited by the Scientific Committee and supported by a grant from the industry.

The Congress App engages attendees with personalised planning tools and real-time event updates. The App transforms smartphones, tablets, and laptops into tools for active meeting participation and makes it easy for participants to access meeting information to connect with speakers and colleagues. The App includes the scientific program, abstracts, speaker information, participant lists, the rating/voting system for sessions and speakers, and a personalised scheduler. The App can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Congress App sponsorship support includes:

• Supporter acknowledgement on the splash/pop-up screen of the App: “Supported by: company name/logo” (product logo not permitted).
• 2 “push notifications” included in the sponsorship package.
• Support will be acknowledged in the Industry Support and Exhibition section of the program guide, on the event website and application, and with signage during the event.

The thumb drive will contain all of the scientific abstracts. Each participant will receive an exchange voucher that can be exchanged for a thumb drive at the Supporter’s exhibition booth.

• Exclusive advertisement on the back of the exchange voucher (optional).
• Support will be acknowledged in the Industry Support and Exhibition section of the program guide, on the event website and application, and with signage during the event.

• ​Support will be recognised with signage at the entrance to the Poster area with ˝Supported by…˝ and a company logo only.
• Support will be acknowledged in the Industry Support and Exhibition section of the program guide, on the event website and application, and with signage during the event.

The ability to attend all conferences, or even all session at a given conference, is impossible for the busy medical professional. Webcasting provides a means of sharing knowledge and learning opportunities beyond the dates of the actual event and thus serves a vital educational need. Materials are saved locally, but at the same time, can be distributed over the web to viewers around the world via a robust cloud server. Viewers can access the broadcasts using PCs, tablets, or smartphones live (as streamed video) or later, as on-demand webcasts.

Kenes offers two types of webcasting options:*

• Video includes a video screen of the speaker during the session, PowerPoint slides (in sync with the speaker), and audio.
• Digital Imaging includes PowerPoint slides with audio.
• Support will be recognized on the home screen with ˝Supported by… ˝ and a company logo only
• Support will be acknowledged in the Industry Support and Exhibition section of the program guide, on the event website and application, and with signage during the event.

*Webcasted sessions to be designated by the Congress Planning Group. Supporters will have no influence on content. The Autoimmunity Congress retains the copyright of all of the enduring materials in all media formats  arising from the main meeting, including  the use and distribution rights for webcasting of  all congress accredited programing.

Funding support to the development of a blended learning programme. In order to improve physician competencies and ultimately improve patient care, we are offering blended learning opportunities. This interactive and well-received learning method combines face-to-face learning with online learning. Trainings and educational activities can be blended in many ways. Blended learning courses have proven to be a popular choice for learners as it allows learners to take advantage of much of the flexibility and convenience of an online course while retaining the benefits of the face-to-face  experience.

A blended learning programme includes:

• Online pre/post-test and/or online pre-/post e-learning course/ case-study linked to a Symposium/Educational Session* at the Congress for a face-to-face session.
• Support will be disclosed in the Industry Support section of the Congress website and Program Guide.
• Support will be acknowledged within the online learning activity

*Needs to be requested separately as is not included in the cost above. 

Available upon request.
