Sponsor the Spring Research Festival

SRF is an exclusive and cost-effective opportunity to reach military and government medical, research, and scientific professionals from the agencies of National Interagency Confederation for Biological Research (NICBR) and many other federal agencies, state and local organizations, and nonprofits involved in the medical research and development community.

Reach 800+ government and industry attendees, including researchers, scientists, lab technicians, analysts, medical professionals, program managers, IT, contracting specialists, agency leaders, and other vital roles, as well as connect with industry representatives from large and small businesses for teaming opportunities.

More attendees are expected at SRF 2025 than ever because of the expanded Symposium education program located at the CAC building next to the Odom Fitness Center (within walking distance), Poster displays in the Exhibition, the mandate for federal employees to return to the office, and food trucks serving lunch at the Odom Fitness Center both days (lunch will be provided for government attendees).

Events generate the highest return on investment of any marketing channel and SRF 2025 is a cost-effective event to reach a targeted audience and engage and educate attendees on your company and capabilities. Learn more about the event and benefits of participating:
