9. PROMOTIONAL RULES & GUIDELINES
The EANS 2016 Congress Organiser would like to take this opportunity to stress the importance of
the rules and regulations that all Symposium Organisers are required to adhere to during the
Congress, on-site.
Please see rules and regulations as follows:
 You have permission to use the phrase “Symposium Session of the EANS 2016 Congress” on
your marketing collateral. Please do not refer to your Symposium in any other way.
 Speakers are to be chosen and invited by the industry partner. Travel costs, accommodation
and registration fees of speakers to be covered by the industry partner. This also applies in
cases where the speakers have already been invited to the congress.
14
 You are entitled to have a total of up to two roll-up banners to promote your symposium
session outside the session hall. Said banners need to be provided by the Sponsor and will
not be provided by the venue or Congress Organisers. These roll-up banners can be in place
on the day of your symposium only and cannot be put into place in advance.
 Distribution of flyers to promote your symposium is permitted starting 3 hours prior to your
symposium. Leafleting is only allowed on the day your symposium in either the registration
area or outside your booked session room. It is strictly forbidden to distribute flyers outside
the venue. Flyers must be provided by the companies themselves. Whilst you are entitled to
advertise your symposium at your exhibition stand, you are not allowed to distribute flyers in
the rest of the exhibition, venue or leaving collateral on tables or other furniture.
Please make sure the distribution of flyers is not disturbing neither the congress participants
nor the other sponsors, nor anybody else. If so, the organiser will reserve the right to stop
the distribution.
 Please note that it is your responsibility as the Symposium Organiser to leave your
symposium session room in a clean and tidy manner once your symposium has finished. E.g.,
should you distribute any items such as leaflets during your symposium, you must ensure
that they are removed from the room at the end of your session. Failure to adhere to this
rule will result in additional charges.
 The existing set-up in your booked session hall should not be altered without prior consent of
the Organiser and please be so kind and take good care not to damage any existing EANS
branding in the session room. Should you require additional lecterns or top tables in your
session hall or require said items to be removed, this may be arranged at an additional fee
and must be requested in advance to the Congress. For any specific requirements &
necessities, feel free to contact the EANS 2016 Organiser. Symposium Organisers are entitled
to bring free standing branding such as roll-up banners to be set up inside their booked
session hall.
 Symposium Organisers are required to hand in their holding slide and presentation to the
Slide Centre set up in the Speaker Ready Room, Conference Suite II – Room MC 3.4. To
guarantee a smooth and timely upload of your slides, you are advised to do this at your
earliest opportunity but not later than 3 hours prior to your Symposium. Please refer to Slide
Centre Opening Times which will be communicated in the Final Programme.
