INVITATION TO SPONSOR & EXHIBIT
On behalf of the Local Organising Committee we invite you to participate in the 44th

HGSA 2020 will provide a world class scientific program for participants and provides
an opportunity for sponsors and exhibitors to promote and demonstrate their
products and services, maintain and develop relationships with delegates and

delegates comprised of clinicians, scientists and allied health professionals with an
interest in human genetics.

We have provided a number of sponsorship packages for you to choose from and
we are happy to work with you to tailor these options to optimise your company’s
unique platform to help you maximise your audience.
