The Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society (WMS) is the premier annual international Congress on neuromuscular disorders. The approximately 600 attendees at the Congress include the key individuals from around the world currently working in the field of neuromuscular disease diagnosis and research.

You are cordially invited to be part of this much valued Congress. Beyond the exhibition itself, a broad variety of interesting sponsorship options (such as advertisement, delegate bags, poster numbers) are available. We have built the exhibition space in the main catering, poster and social area in the hope that you will get excellent access to our delegates.

Please feel free to study our sponsorship brochure and contact the Congress Sponsorship Team at micaela.nigro@mci-group.com for sponsorship opportunities or if you have any questions.

Please read our TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

We are looking forward to welcoming you and your team to Mendoza!
