FAQs

How do Satellite Meetings differ from Sponsor-Hosted Sessions or Affiliate Events?

Sponsor-Hosted Sessions are part of the main program and provide an opportunity for corporate partners to share industry insights or highlight innovative products and solutions.

Satellite Meetings are designed to complement the Summit’s scientific program, featuring educational or research-driven content.

I’m interested in hosting multiple events or a multi-day event, do I need to submit more than one request?

Yes, please submit one request per function, i.e. a new request for each event taking place at a distinct day and time.

Who will approve Satellite Meeting requests?

All satellite meeting requests will be evaluated by representatives designated by the MPS Scientific Advisory Committee

What assistance does iMPSS provide to Satellite Meeting Organizers?
