INVITATION
Welcome to London 2017!
The World Congress on Inflammation will come to London for the first time in 2017 for the world’s most influential
meeting for inflammation researchers.
Hosted in London, the Congress will be located in one of the best connected cities in Europe, boasting a proud history
of scientific innovation and discoveries in inflammation. Many of the world’s most famous innovative thinkers have
lived and worked in London including Peter Medawar, James Black and Paul Nurse and many famous inflammation
researchers including Rod Flower, John Vane, and other IAIS lifetime awardees.
The biennial Congress is the pinnacle for the growing number of Societies within the International Association of
Inflammation Societies, and others who attend our Congress, and represents a key opportunity to share knowledge
across borders and professional disciplines as we work towards a common goal of improving the understanding and
control of inflammatory diseases.
The Congress scientific programme will present the best in inflammation science from distinguished researchers
from across the globe. Covering key topics from across the spectrum of inflammatory mechanisms and therapeutic
areas with a specific focus on inflammation in ageing and cancer. The Congress is the best place to build skills and
knowledge through hearing the latest topics in the field. The Congress venue, the Hilton London Metropole Hotel is
located close to Paddington Station and major shopping and entertainment areas.
It is the perfect site to explore many of London’s famous landmarks when there is space in between busy congress
schedules. Travel around London is very easy with the extensive underground system and the famous red buses and
black taxis.
I look forward to welcoming you to the 13th World Congress where we will continue our mission to promote inflammation science.

WHY YOU SHOULD SPONSOR
A tailored sponsorship package is a cost-effective opportunity to reach a large number of delegates within your target
market.
A presence at the Congress is your organization’s opportunity to leverage five days of unparalleled access to a wide
potential client base, to inform them about your products and services, and build long-term relationships.
Sponsorship is a proven tactic for your brand: It combines the reach of magazine advertising with the power of direct
mail and the persuasion of face-to-face meeting.
Congress participants are keen to improve their scientific knowledge. Aligning your company with this powerful educational experience demonstrates your commitment to assisting their development at a deeply personal level.
Your company will benefit from exposure to an interested, relevant, and influential audience in an informal yet informative environment away from the competition of everyday distractions.
Major Congress sponsors will receive additional benefits, so an early commitment will ensure maximum exposure to
Congress attendees.
WHO WILL ATTEND
The World Congress on Inflammation 2017 expects to welcome 1,000 delegates to London.
The Congress is devoted to all individuals involved in basic, applied therapeutic, and clinical research in the field of
