Invitation to Brisbane
We are delighted to invite your participation in the 14th International Congress of Neuroimmunology (ISNI
2018), which will be hosted by Neuroimmunology Australia in Brisbane, Australia, from 27-31st August, 2018.
We anticipate over 600 delegates, including key opinion leaders and scientists from the disciplines of
neurology, immunology, neuroscience, neuropathology and clinical immunology, who will present the most
recent advances in basic and clinical studies in neuroimmunology.
This will be the first time that the ISNI Congress is held in the Southern Hemisphere, and ISNI 2018 will provide
your organization with a unique opportunity to showcase your brand and key messages to delegates from all
around the world.
The venue for the Congress, the Brisbane Convention & Exhitibion Centre (BCEC) is ideally located adjacent
to South Bank, Brisbane’s riverside cultural and lifestyle precinct. The BCEC is a world-class venue providing
superb flexibility and versatility with an impressive portfolio of meeting rooms and event spaces. The Centre
is Australia’s most flexible meetings and events venue.
The Prospectus outlines marketing opportunities to suit every budget and marketing objective. We encourage
you to explore the benefits of participating as a sponsor and/or exhibitor. On behalf of the organizing committee,
we look forward to seeing you in Brisbane in August 2018.
