July 7 - 11, 2015 Rio de Janeiro Brazil SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES “ ...an excellent scientiﬁc program with the presence of the most important names in the World of Neuroscience. Dear Partners, The 9th edition of the IBRO World Congress on Neuroscience will be held for the ﬁrst time in a Latin American country . The event will take place from 07 to 11 July 2015, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The city is now one of the largest economic and cultural centers of the region. That is, nature, economic growth and friendly people, united to an excellent scientiﬁc program with the presence of the most important names in the World of Neuroscience. “ The expectation is that Congress receives about 4,500 attendees and this occasion is perfect to your company to expand the market in the Latin American continent with development of partnerships and unique opportunities arising from personal interaction and networking. In the following proposal we present, there are all the possible investment options available to implement the presence of your company in the Congress. We welcome your presence.
