Why Sponsor WorldLeish8?

A strategic investment that delivers measurable brand exposure, lead generation, and scientific credibility in the global leishmaniasis community.

Global Brand Visibility

Your logo and messaging reach delegates from 80+ countries, including endemic regions across Africa, Asia, and Latin America — the markets that matter most for NTD-focused organisations.

Unmatched Networking

Access 600+ researchers, clinicians, policy-makers, and WHO/NIH officials in dedicated exhibition hours, gala dinners, symposia, and social events throughout the four days.

Lead Generation

Satellite symposia, a booth in the main exhibition hall, and hosted product demonstrations put your team in front of qualified decision-makers throughout the four days.

Scientific Credibility

Align your brand with world-class science. Satellite symposia and a presence within the official scientific programme position your organisation as a thought leader driving meaningful research.

Omnichannel Presence

Logo placement across the congress website, mobile app, programme book, on-site banners, and the registration desk — before, during & after the congress.

Contribution to Science

Sponsorship directly supports travel grants for researchers from endemic countries, enabling participation that might otherwise be impossible — a powerful CSR narrative for your stakeholders.
