Infection 2009
Progress with this year’s Infection 2009, the flagship conference of the Federation of Infection Societies, is coming along well amidst the recession.
Almost all of the sponsorship packages and over 50 exhibition stands have been sold with 4 months remaining until the event. The conference is to be held at the Birmingham ICC and has so far attracted exhibitors such as Pfizer, Wyeth and Novartis.
Comtec have set up online delegate booking that has so far proved to be successful in making booking places easy and quick for interested parties and work is currently underway creating a session selector for delegates to chose the sessions they wish to attend prior to the event.
Going for Gold
Comtec’s team of runners smashed any expectations they had with their finish times in the Manchester 10k run in May. With each of the runners finishing under 1hour 30 minutes everyone was happy to have raised over £500 for Manchester New Children’s Hospital.
Four of the eight runners have vowed to take part in next year’s event with Helen Ford, hoping to take part in the Great Swim next year. Furthermore, Amanda Gilmour is running this year’s Great North and Great South runs!
Busy Month
The past few months have been a filled with awards with the crew being up and down the country working on events for clients such as Refresh, Motor Trader and FiFi.
The stars were out at the Fifi awards with Sarah Cox and Mischa Barton both being present for the awards which were hosted by Alex Zane.
