Why exhibit at an ELRIG event?
Reach your customers both future and current
Unlike most other life science conferences, ELRIG events are free to attend, making high-quality scientific programming accessible to all in the life science community.
Networking Focus
All ELRIG events are structured to include plenty of networking breaks to maximize the amount of time our delegates spend with exhibitors. Even the refreshments are served in the Exhibition Hall so delegates have no reason to leave the area.
