Dear Exhibitor,

We are pleased to announce the 6th Northern Lights Summer Conference that will be hosted at the University of Manitoba – Fort Garry Campus, June 17 – 20, 2008. This is the 52nd Scientific Conference of the Canadian Federation of Biological Societies (CFBS). The Scientific Program discusses a multidiscipline theme: “Biology of Aging - New Answers to Old Questions”. The2008 Program is organized by Dr. Phillip Gardiner, Director, HLHP Research Institute, and Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity & Health Studies, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB. The Scientific Exhibits will be held on Wednesday & Thursday, June 18 & 19, 2008.

I am pleased to invite you to participate as an exhibitor at the 6th 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 400-500 research scientists from across Canada and abroad. The multidiscipline symposia will highlight a number of international speakers. Please refer to the detailed program information.

• Nutrition as a determinant of successful aging
• Muscles: from molecules to mobility
• Dilemmas of drug therapy in the elderly
• The role of oxidative stress in the decline of aged muscle
• Neuromuscular function and resistance training in older adults - From laboratory research to clinical implications
• Calpain: A molecular monkey wrench involved in aging and cell death mechanisms
• Cardiovascular System and Ageing: Exercise Blood Flow
• The AAA Alarm: Antioxidants, Atherosclerosis and Aging
• Biology of Alzheimer and Dementia

In addition to the symposia, there will be daily poster sessions. Participating exhibitors are encouraged to invite their customers, laboratory supervisors and staff, to the exhibits area while the scientific sessions are being held. This maximizes the usage of your time while exhibiting at the CFBS conference. Please check the exhibit guidelines page for time and date, no tickets are required to attend the trade show.

The exhibits will be hosted together with the poster sessions and Am & Pm coffee breaks & receptions, to which the exhibitors will have free access. 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.
