As the Society and the ISTH 2015 Local Organizing Committee plan the details for the much anticipated congress from June 20 to June 25, 2015, we invite our stakeholders to learn more about our meeting and consider opportunities to collaborate, support and partner with the ISTH in its mission of advancing the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic and bleeding disorders. As the host city of ISTH 2015, the XXV Congress of the Society and 61st Meeting of the Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC), Toronto, a multi-ethnic city, will open its arms to many thousands of scientists and clinicians in our field from around the world. The Local Organizing Committee for ISTH 2015 consists of leading researchers and physicians from across Canada, reflecting the span and level of scientific activity in thrombosis and hemostasis in this country Sam Schulman, MD, PhD President, ISTH 2015 and around the world. One particular pioneer of many, David Sackett, at McMaster University, pioneered evidence-based medicine and it was applied here for improving the management of thromboembolic disorders. The evidence-based clinical guidelines emanating from McMaster University have achieved international recognition. Likewise, and for many years, Canada has played a leading worldwide role in research in hemophilia and von Willebrand disease. As a result, for more than two decades, young clinicians and scientists from around the world have come here to learn clinical research methodology continuing Canada’s long tradition as a particularly welcoming country and attracting some of the world’s best talent. It is therefore very appropriate that the ISTH hold its premier worldwide congress in our field – especially when young as well as experienced scientists from around the globe will converge to report and learn about the latest advances in thrombosis and hemostasis, exchange ideas and expand their networks. Critically important for the benefit of our patients are the diagnostics and treatments that are being developed and that we, as clinicians, have at our disposal. We therefore consider our collaboration with our industry partners of paramount importance, and we will make every effort to ensure that your participation is worthwhile. We do this while maintaining the highest scientific standards and with the spirit of collaboration at the forefront. ISTH 2015 will provide you with a unique platform to meet with partner scientists, clinical investigators and clinicians, and also to forge new cooperation with key opinion leaders, clinical or laboratory scientists, educators and allied health professionals. The conference venue, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC), is conveniently located in the city’s downtown area and is within walking distance to many hotels and restaurants. Additionally, the metropolitan infrastructure of Toronto will provide the ideal environment for an outstanding event and memorable delegate experience. With an airport that is an international hub with direct flights to all six inhabited continents in the world and 75 operating airlines, getting to Toronto is easy and affordable from all over the globe. We welcome you to Toronto for ISTH 2015 and look forward to a strong collaboration in making this the most successful ISTH congress to date.

This system is implemented to allow for a clear and transparent process for you, our ISTH industry partners, as you select sponsorship and exhibition opportunities. Points are calculated and rank positions determined by the total spend an industry partner makes during the three years leading up to the current meeting (SSC meetings and the ISTH congresses combined). Top ranking companies are provided with this manual in advance and are given first priority to symposium slots, exhibition space and other sponsorship opportunities. The full details on the ISTH point allocation system are available upon request by contacting the ISTH’s Corporate Relations Consultant, Margo Price at margo_price@isth.org.

Academic institutions, private organizations and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract, may issue a news release to coincide with the availability of an abstract on the USB stick. However, the ISTH strictly requires that information going beyond that contained in the abstract, such as discussion of the abstract, presentation of data or other details that will be presented at the congress, is under embargo as outlined above. Violation of the embargo may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the congress and/or other measures deemed appropriate. It is not considered a violation of this policy if the information contained in the abstract is presented or has been accepted for presentation at another meeting (as noted during abstract submission), or if the abstract is published in a peer-reviewed journal after the abstract submission deadline. It is the responsibility of the submitting author to inform interested parties about this policy. If there is a breach of the embargo at any time by a media organization, we ask that the company or organization contact the ISTH communications department immediately. ISTH 2015 Media Policy Media credentials are reserved exclusively for working members of the editorial media, including print, broadcast, radio or online. In order to maintain an environment conducive for quality professional interactions, media credentials are only available to media that are related to the industry, or those that cover another relevant topic. Public relations, advertising, publishers and marketing personnel representing manufacturers do not qualify for media credentials. Video production companies that are representing exhibitors or those that are charging companies to be covered do not qualify for media credentials. All media are required to follow the media policy in its entirety. Approved individuals who abuse their media privileges or who misrepresent themselves in obtaining their media passes may risk having their credentials revoked, and their names banned from attending the ISTH meetings in future years. Industry Guidelines and Pharmaceutical Regulations in Canada Health Canada Relates to advertising and other company activities. URL: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/advert-publicit/pol/actv_promo_vs_info-eng.php 46 Rx&D For research and development-based pharmaceutical companies (member of IFPMA) www.canadapharma.org/home CGPA Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association www.canadiangenerics.ca/en/ PAAB Pharmaceutical Advertising Advisory Board www.paab.ca/ It is important that each sponsor ensures that Canadian Pharmaceutical Regulations and Codes of Practice are adhered to internally. Parent companies, subsidiaries or divisions of Rx&D members based outside of Canada must adhere to the applicable laws and regulations and provisions as the Canadian Rx&D members themselves. Companies are advised to contact their local Canadian affiliate. The ISTH reminds sponsors, exhibitors and their agents or designees of their responsibility to be aware of and to abide by all guidelines and codes regarding the relationship between the pharmaceutical and medical device/ equipment industry and healthcare professionals that are applicable to your company. Recommendations about pharmaceutical guidelines must come from your internal legal departments as ISTH, ISTH 2015 and MCI Suisse may offer no advice that can be construed as legal. Cancellation of Exhibition It is mutually agreed that in the event of total or partial cancellation of the XXV Congress of the ISTH and 61st Annual SSC Meeting due to fire, strike, natural disaster (either threatened or actual), government regulations or causes which would prevent its scheduled opening and/ or continuance that are outside of ISTH’s control, this agreement will become null and void. In such case, the ISTH shall determine an equitable basis for a refund of a portion of fees after due consideration of expenditures and commitments already made. Under no circumstances is the ISTH or the Organizers responsible for any supporting company’s expenses (such as travel, lodging, or exhibit shipping), or any other incidental or consequential damages. Third Party Companies ISTH 2015 and MCI Suisse will communicate exclusively with clearly identified third party companies officially mandated by participating exhibitors and sponsors. Queries received from third party companies (i.e. communication and press agencies) which do not clearly indicate which company they are representing will not be answered. Hospitality Events Companies are welcome to arrange for external events outside of the official meeting times but these must not run concurrently with the ISTH 2015 official program, special and satellite symposia or technical sessions, or the official networking evening. Please note any events over 25 people held during the congress dates must be approved by the Organizers. Companies holding events without approval may face penalties and possible exclusion from participation in future ISTH events. Please note that organizing events that run concurrently with the ISTH 2015 official program, the Welcome Networking Reception or the Main Congress Networking Event is not permitted. You are allowed to organize an event during the President’s Dinner. 47 For more information on sponsorships please contact Ms. Margo Price ISTH Corporate Relations Consultant E margo_price@isth.org T +1 919 632 1266 or T +1 919 929 3807 MAP Group c/o ISTH Headquarters 610 Jones Ferry Road, Suite 205 Carrboro, NC 27510 USA Application & Contract Form Special Symposia, Satellite Symposia & Techical Sessions Please complete and return at your earliest convenience to: Mail XXV Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis & 61st Annual SSC Meeting ISTH Headquarters 610 Jones Ferry Road, Suite 205 Carrboro, NC 27510 USA For further information, contact: Ms Margo Price, Tel: +1 919 929 2381 Fax: +1 919 929 3935; margo_price@isth.org Company Name VAT Number (if applicable) Street Address June 20 – 25, 2015 Toronto, Canada City State or Province Country TelephoneMobile EmailFax Name of Person in Charge Special Symposia Satellite Symposia Technical Sessions DATE TIMING Sunday, June 21 13.00 –15.00 Sunday, June 21 15.30 –17.30 PRICE PER SYMPOSIA (IN USD$) CAPACITY PREFERENCE $120,000 $140,000 $120,000 $140,000 600-800 seats (2 available) 1,000 – 2,000 seats (2 available) 600-800 seats (2 available) 1,000 – 2,000 seats (2 available) 450 – 650 seats (2 available) Monday, June 22 12.15 – 13.45 $95,000 (limited to 4) Monday, June 22 12.15 – 13.45 $75,000 (limited to 3) Tuesday, June 23 12.15 – 13.45 $95,000 (limited to 4) Tuesday, June 23 12.15 – 13.45 $75,000 (limited to 3) Wednesday, June 24 12.15 – 13.45 $95,000 (limited to 4) Wednesday, June 24 12.15 – 13.45 $75,000 (limited to 3) Capacity is 320 seats Monday, June 22 $35,000 (limited to 6) Capacity: 320 – 650 seats Total Symposia 18.30 – 20.00 850 – 1,000 seats (2 available) Capacity is 320 seats 450 – 650 seats (2 available) 850 – 1,000 seats (2 available) Capacity is 320 seats 450 – 650 seats (2 available) 850 – 1,000 seats (2 available) Total Amount $ All prices listed are in US$ and are exclusive of any applicable taxes.
