Why partner with BSR

Reach a highly engaged clinical audience

Position your brand at the heart of the UK rheumatology community. With more than 2,000 delegates every year, alongside an extended digital audience, BSR provides a powerful platform to demonstrate thought leadership and commitment to the specialty.

Maximise exposure

Benefit from our hybrid format, with delegates accessing content before, during and for up to six months after the event through the conference app. This extended digital presence keeps your organisation visible long after the in-person conference concludes.

Generate high-quality leads

Premium lead capture functionality (available with selected sponsorship packages). Your team can scan delegate badges, add notes, and prioritise follow-ups using the conference platform. Activities can be shared internally, giving your team clear visibility and making it easier to monitor return on investment.

Understand your audience

Gain valuable insight into delegate behaviour through real-time analytics and live lead tracking. Monitor engagement with adverts, videos, short talks and digital content, helping you measure performance and refine future strategy.

Easy and effective communication

Use the all-in-one conference app to see who is attending and engage directly with your target audience across both in-person and digital formats.

Innovate and engage sustainably

Engage with both in-person and online delegates by sharing research, insights and new developments. BSR continues to evolve its digital approach, encouraging sustainable engagement through the conference app, QR codes and digital resources.
