There are several benefits to being a sponsor (or a participant) of the Boston Bacterial Meeting. As a sponsor, a company can send two scientists to the meeting free of charge for every $500 donation. They are encouraged to present their work in a talk or a poster, or can attend just to enjoy the science. In addition, the name of the company will be prominently displayed during the meeting, on the website and on the program booklet.

BBM is a very popular meeting in the Boston area that attracts the very best scientists from a large variety of disciplines within the field of microbiology. The sponsors play a very important role in the meeting; the money from the sponsors' donations allows us to keep the attendance price low, and so keep the meeting accessible for all bacteriologists who want to participate.

This is a great opportunity for a company to increase its exposure within the academic community and see the latest research done in the Boston area. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact the BBM organizers at bbm@hms.harvard.edu.
