Dear Colleague,
On behalf of The South African Immunology Society (SAIS) it is my great pleasure to invite all of you to attend our 10th Conference to be held at xx in Kwazulu-Natal from 2-4 October 2025.
The conference will be held under the theme: Immunology at the centre of One Health.
This is one of the biggest highlights on the immunology calendar, with the aim of fostering synergies and maximizing dialogue to ultimately increase the impact of immunological research for health.
None of this would be possible without the involvement and support of companies such as yours. The layout of the venue and structure of the programme is such that there will be extensive opportunities for your representatives to interact with delegates.
Your presence and contribution will enhance the overall impact of the conference through promotional opportunities, scientific exchange and community engagement. In principle, all sponsors will be treated on a „first come, first served“ basis and will be mentioned in all Conference Publications, such as the Final Programme and the Conference Website.
There are different sponsorship packages and opportunities available. If you would like a more customized option, kindly contact our Conference Organisers through [email protected].
We are grateful for your support and look forward to hosting this conference with you.
Dr Luyanda Kwofie
Conference Chairperson
