Sponsorship Opportunities

Exhibition stand at BGS meeting

Sponsor a BGS conference and position yourself in front of 5,800+ healthcare professionals and senior clinical decision-makers shaping healthcare for our growing population of older people.

The number of people aged 85 and over is projected to almost double from 1.7 million in 2022 to 3.3 million in 2047. 

People aged 65 and over account for around 40% of all admissions to hospital and around 60% of hospital bed days, and consult with their GP up to five times more often than younger people. 

Our audience of multidisciplinary healthcare professionals, working across care settings, are skilled at managing multimorbidity and complexity. With this comes an enthusiasm for new approaches, innovative solutions and improved outcomes for older patients. Placing your organisation in front of our audience offers the opportunity to align with these values and demonstrate your impact to clinical leaders.

Why sponsor BGS conferences?

Sponsoring a BGS event offers your organisation:

  • Direct access to senior clinicians and multidisciplinary professionals in older people’s healthcare
  • The ability to connect in-person as well as online
  • Visibility for your organisation among key decision‑makers
  • Opportunities to host symposia and workshops
  • Continued visibility of your brand, with virtual on-demand access available for 6 months to all delegates.

Sponsorship Packages (Hybrid Meetings)

BGS meetings are held as hybrid events, allowing people the choice to attend either in person or online. Attendees will be able to choose how to attend based on their preferences, existing work, and personal commitments. With pressures on study leave and study budgets, online access to continuing professional development (CPD) and BGS services becomes more and more important. 

Core packages (available at all meetings):

We offer our core sponsorship opportunities at all meetings:

  • Sponsored symposia packages - A 30-minute educational symposium, plus exhibition stand. Includes delegate places for speakers, company personnel and invited healthcare professionals. These are limited in availability so early enquiry is encouraged.
  • Sponsored exhibition stands - A dedicated space (3x2m) to maximise your visibility and connect directly with decision-makers, with exhibition passes for 2 staff members to attend.
  • 'Spotlight on' sessions - Shorter 15-minute educational presentation sessions.

Recordings of the presentations, including sponsored symposia, if permitted, will be accessible post-event to all attendees for 6 months.

Additional items 

The BGS welcomes opportunities to discuss ways in which we might collaborate with potential partners to maximise your visibility at our conferences, and to offer delegates an enhanced experience with your valuable support.

These might include sponsorship of:

  • Wi-Fi access
  • Social events
  • Welcome reception
  • Live online stream 
  • Post-event recordings
  • Other visual branding opportunities

Annual review

BGS sponsorship rates are benchmarked regularly and annually reviewed by our Finance Committee, and Trustee Board. They are subject to annual increases 

Premium sponsorship packages 

 BGS meetings are hybrid by default, with a virtual attendance option in addition to in-person attendance. Attendees will be able to choose how to attend based on their preferences, existing work, and personal commitments. 

For those attending in-person, we aim to continue the same high-quality educational content in addition to the networking and interactions missed during the virtual conferences. For both in-person and virtual delegates there will be the ability to network and visit exhibitors before, during, and after each meeting.

Recordings of the presentations, including sponsored symposia, if permitted, will be accessible post-event to all attendees for 6 months.
