ECSACONM invites and welcome Partners wishing to sponsor and exhibit during the conference.

In return, ECSACONM will provide an attractive benefit as outlined in the sponsorship categories that allows your organisation to choose your desired level of involvement and exposure to attendees at the conference.

One key reason why Nurses, Midwives and Researchers come to the ECSACONM Conferences is to establish contacts and to network with other delegates from the ECSA Region and around the world – so social events such as the conference Gala Dinner are very well attended.

We have four sponsorship categories available as well as the ability for partner organisations to sponsor individual events during the conference
