INVITATION TO SPONSORS and EXHIBITORS
The 8th International Conference on Rodent Biology and Management (ICRBM 2025) will be held between 1-5 September 2025 at The Canberra Rex Hotel, Northbourne Avenue, Canberra. The conference is being hosted by CSIRO Health and Biosecurity in conjunction with colleagues from various Australian institutions and organisations.
The Conference venue provides an excellent location for conference delegates and sponsors to learn about the most recent developments in rodent research and development, including technologies to better assist researchers to undertake their studies. A truly great opportunity for in-depth scientific exchange and future collaborations.
All sponsors and trade exhibitors will be an integral part of the event. Trade exhibits will be co-located in the conference venue where scientific posters are displayed, and where morning and afternoon teas and lunches will be held during each day of the event.
The local organising committee is expecting approximately 120-180 delegates from throughout the world – Africa, Asia, China, North and South America and Australasia – to attend.
More information about the programme can be accessed at the 8th ICRBM website: icrbm2025.org Email enquiries: [email protected]
There are many opportunities for sponsors to present either their business or professional opportunities and endeavours at the conference. We aim to facilitate maximum interaction between the conference participants and the exhibitors.
Below we list several sponsor packages that will provide you with maximum visibility before, during and after 8th ICRBM. Please approach us directly if you are able to provide sponsorship for the conference or if the packages below do not meet your specific requirements.
