Business Partner Information When you register for the 2019 PBS Annual Meeting, you have the opportunity to make new contacts and attend all events, educational sessions and conference hosted meals. The registration rate is per individual and is non-transferable during the conference. Registration Fee $825 ($925 after March 22, 2019) includes: • One full-conference registration • Access to all events, meals and sessions • Name and organization listed in Conference Participant List We encourage you to register early in order to secure a discounted guest room rate at our conference hotel. The conference hotel will sell out, so we recommend booking as soon as possible so you do not have to stay at an overflow hotel. In addition, we highly recommend that you register early to guarantee a full conference registration. In the past few years, due to overwhelming response, registration has been limited to session only (which does not include access to our sponsored meal events) as we approach the early bird registration deadline. Sponsorship Opportunities Your sponsorship of the PBS Annual Meeting is a way to communicate your message to attendees and increase your company’s visibility throughout the conference. We acknowledge our sponsors often, as your valuable investment makes the conference possible for attendees. Recognition will include branding on the conference website, presence in the General Session Ballroom and more. To reserve a sponsorship, please contact Naseem Hussain at nhussain@pbs.org or at 703.739.8617. Once we agree upon the appropriate options, you will receive a Sponsorship Agreement to be completed and signed. After returning the Sponsorship Agreement, you will receive the Sponsor Registration link to be completed (you will be asked to pay via credit card). If you need to pay via check, please speak with Naseem Hussain about the necessary steps. Please note that unless otherwise indicated, sponsorships do not include registration for the PBS Annual Meeting.
