For Industry
BWH Research Day will celebrate research successes at BWH with the hospital community including our faculty, employees, patients, local neighborhoods, media, and donors; as well as industry. Our hope is that the day provides an opportunity for education around the depth and breadth of research happening at BWH and continues the celebratory tradition we started at last year’s event. The goal of incorporating industry exhibitors into the event is to bring external attention to BWH research and inspire collaborations that can lead to innovation.
In 2012, we had over 1,500 attendees and 200 participants consisting of speakers, poster presenters, and employee volunteers. The day consisted of over 150 poster presentations, 10 symposia talks on topics from cancer to obesity, a media discussion panel, and keynote address by BWH surgeon Atul Gawande MD, PhD. Our exhibitor room alone attracted about 150 people interested in the organizations that were represented. Next year, our goal is to increase this number by placing exhibitor tables in a better location, which is more closely included with the day’s activities. We hope to include you as an external sponsor, as well as give internal organizations the opportunity to showcase themselves to a broader audience. Participating in BWH Research Day would give you access to a variety of stakeholders including faculty, a variety of healthcare and research employees, and patients in one location; allowing your organization to increase awareness of your products and services amongst this audience. Our department hopes to bring in external organizations, to allow both industry and internal researchers to explore collaboration opportunities and start conversations, by showcasing their work on Research Day.
This upcoming year, we expect the number of attendees to increase and the opportunities for exhibitors to grow. We have already begun planning and would like to begin including your organization in our promotions immediately. The exhibitor options are listed below, as well as the contact information for our Strategy and Innovation Director. Please let us know if you have any questions on your expected role in Research Day.
