| Sponsorship Information |

The ISPD 2026 Congress and Exhibition is committed to the principles that:

  • Sponsorship activities should be executed and acknowledged in such a way that the Congress is not perceived as a commercial endeavour.
  • The aim of the Congress is to be a vehicle to enhance the dissemination and exchange of scientific information.
  • Hosting this congress in Africa is a significant opportunity and we urge sponsors to assist with funding travel and or registration of doctors and allied health professionals from low resource countries to attend. This support will be significantly showcased at the congress.

The following sponsorship packages are available on a first-come, first served basis:

NOTE: All costs are inclusive of VAT.
