Invitation for Sponsorship

Dear Valued Partner,

On behalf of the Planning Committee for the Annual Meeting of the Northeastern Society of Orthodontists, which will take place at Hotel Bonaventure, Montreal, Quebec, on Friday and Saturday, November 6-7, 2020, I would like to invite your company to participate in this Congress as a sponsor.

NESO has grown to almost 1800 orthodontists from the northeastern US. This event provides a unique opportunity to sponsoring companies for publicity and promotion to a highly targeted audience. NESO aims to provide value through alignment of interest, by which partners get involved and become thought leaders in certain areas based on their priorities and interests; through brand awareness, by which all partners are recognized based on support in all relevant in-person, print and digital mediums; and through exclusive access to NESO leaders, events and resources.

I invite you to study this brochure of sponsorship options and benefits and feel free to contact NESO Executive Director, Kristin Dunn (kdunn@neso.org), with any questions you may have.
