Quality Re:United Exhibitor and Sponsorship Pack

Exhibitor and Sponsorship Pack

2022 RQA INTERNATIONAL QA CONFERENCE In 2022 we will hold our International QA Conference face to face in Brighton, 9th - 11th November, following two years of virtual events.

This event will be heavily geared towards workshop and discussion sessions, where delegates can really network with and learn from one another. As usual delegates will come from a global audience.

Sessions will be divided into the following categories: Panel Discussions: A panel will discuss set topics with delegates, with delegates having the opportunity to ask questions throughout.

Open Discussions: These sessions will follow the form of our Member Coffee Mornings and be made up of smaller groups who all join a discussion around given topics.

Workshop: Interactive session where delegates will work on a given scenario/topic in groups and get feedback from moderators.

Presentation: The traditional presentation, where a speaker will give a talk and delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end.

As a not-for-profit organisation, offering exhibiting, advertising and sponsorship opportunities allows us to continually promote quality and integrity in scientific research.

In return we offer access to: ■ Europe’s largest Quality Assurance event for the industry ■ Exposure to an anticipated audience of around 300 attendees, with 11 separate contact times with delegates, including 2 RQA run competitions to encourage delegates to all stands ■ An extended lunch break which will feature 30 mins of networking time ■ A range of advertising and sponsorship opportunities.
