Dear Exhibitor,

We are pleased to announce the 5th Northern Lights Summer Conference that will be hosted at the University of Waterloo from June 20 – 22, 2007. This is the 51st Scientific Conference of the Canadian Federation of Biological Societies (CFBS). The scientific program discusses two themes 1) Nano Structures & their Biomedical Applications 2). Metabolomics, Technologies & Applications. The Scientific Exhibits will be held on Wednesday & Thursday, June 20 & 21, 2007. The Nano Structure theme is to follow the Nanoforum meeting organized by NRC & NSERC which will conclude mid day through Wednesday, June 20, 2007. Delegates from the Nanoforum will be given free access and will be encouraged to come and visit the Exhibits.

I am pleased to invite you to participate as an exhibitor at the 5th Northern Lights Summer Conference. The exhibits form an integral part of the educational experience for the delegates, and provide a mutually beneficial opportunity to showcase your products and interact with the researchers. The exhibitor fees are used to help finance the symposia and together with your displays are valued contributions to a successful conference. We will insert your company logo in the Program & Proceedings Book and Meeting Folder. We will post one paragraph (provided by you) describing your company or product information and create a link to your website on the conference website. This is a good way to educate the delegates about the companies participating in the exhibits and provide you with extra exposure.

The expected attendance for the conference is 350-500 research scientists from across Canada and abroad. The symposia will highlight a number of international speakers.

Theme I: Nanomedicine: Nanostructures & their Biomedical Applications
(Wednesday & Thursday , June 20 & 21, 2007)

1. Targeted Nano Delivery Systems (drug delivery/gene therapy)
   
2. Diagnostics and Imaging Applications
   
3. Nanotoxicology and Potential Health Effects

1. Human Metabolomics
   
2. Metabolomics Technologies - Hardware & Software
   
3. Metabolomics in Other Systems
   

In addition to the symposia, there will be daily poster sessions. The focus of the conference provides a particularly suitable audience for pharmaceutical & supply product companies’ displays. The LOC is planning to hold a trade show in conjunction with the meeting. We see this a chance for exhibitors to host laboratory supervisors and staff for an afternoon while the scientific sessions are being held. This captalizes on the close proximity of severval universties and research institutes. Participating exhibitors are encouraged to invite laboratory supervisors and staff to the exhibits area while the scientific sessions are being held. Please check our website for time and date, no tickets are required to attend the trade show.

The exhibits will be hosted together with the poster sessions and food services. We encourage you to take advantage of the early registration discount fees, other services and marketing opportunities that CFBS offers which are listed on the reservation form. Further information about the exhibits, CFBS, its constituent societies, the annual meeting, and online forms can be accessed from the CFBS web site (www.cfbs.org). Please contact me if you need additional information, or have any suggestions, questions, or alternative requirements.

Yours truly,
