                        Exhibitor Acceptable Use Policy

                        You may contact delegates on the list to send a maximum of one pre-event email and one post-event email within a reasonable period after the show (no longer than 6 months), with material directly relevant to their attendance at the ELRIG event.

                        Any such contact must:

                        • Clearly state who the communication is from (it must not appear to be from ELRIG or anyone other than your organisation).
                        • Include a clear opt-out mechanism, and all opt-out requests must be honoured promptly.
                        • You must not add all delegates on the list to your general database, as they have not opted in to receive information beyond what relates specifically to the event.

                        Delegates who you have scanned as leads at your booth (those who expressed interest or requested further information, contact, or follow-up) are legitimately yours to add to your CRM/database and to develop an ongoing relationship with.

                        • You must not pass delegate details to any third party.

                        ELRIG reserves the right to withhold future delegate data from any company that abuses these terms.

                                    How do I submit a poster?

                                    Posters are not automatically included in exhibitor packages.

                                    To submit a poster application, your booth manager must first register you for the event. A link to the poster portal will be available in your registration confirmation email.

                                    Event Overview

                                    ELRIG’s Drug Discovery 2026 is back at London’s Excel, and as Europe’s leading drug discovery and life sciences conference, it will have scientific tracks covering topics including Next Generation biophysics, microbes to medicines, multiomics, AI in compound discovery and in experimental design, and bioconjugation approaches in oncology.

                                    This conference marks 20 years of ELRIG Drug Discovery and will have keynote sessions both reflecting on the past and looking towards the future. Once again, we will be hosting scientific content from partners such as SLAS, CRUK, The Microbiology Society, British Neuroscience Association and the Royal Society of Chemistry. The exhibition hall will provide attendees the opportunity to meet with, engage and learn from the leaders in drug discovery as well as leading product and service suppliers.

                                    ELRIG aims to remove as many barriers to conference attendance as possible, so all events are free to attend and have a faith room, family room and quiet room available, ensuring our promise of inclusivity is at the heart of all our events.
