Advertise, Exhibit, Sponsor
The BRISMES Annual Conference is an opportunity for publishers and institutions to connect with more than 400 Middle East experts and practitioners from around the world and to share information, publications, and other materials from their organisations. BRISMES is an established association hosting a conference with a personal feel, perfect for networking, researching, and scholarly exchange.
We have many different options for publishers tailored to fit various budgets and goals, from a table at the Publishing Exhibition to advertising on our website and in our programme.
Publishers' Exhibition
The Publishers’ Exhibition will be located in the Henry Daysh Building at Newcastle University. The exhibition area will be strategically located near the seminar rooms and refreshments. It will be the perfect space for publishers to exhibit as all delegates will spend time in this area between presentations. We have especially booked this area to provide exhibitors with the best possible environment.
If you'd like to reserve a space please contact the conference coordinator at conference@brismes.org.

Advertising
Please note that in 2025, as part of BRISMES’s aim to reduce the charity’s carbon footprint, we will refrain from printing several hundred programs and will use an online platform called Whova. The Whova app will give delegates access to the event programme and list of speakers. Publishers can upload leaflets/ads to the app, which all delegates can access and download. You can upload your ads one week before the event and they will be accessible for up to six months after the conference ends.
