Dear Luca,
I discussed with committee, and it was agreed that for an additional fee of 1k EUR we can give you full passes for 2 more delegates and an industry talk. Would this be acceptable?
If this is acceptable (and you would like to financially wrap up this week), you can already transfer (the amount for the silver sponsorship is 2k EUR + 1k EUR for extra delegates/presentation = 3k EUR) to the following account:
Purpose: KO61100002 Silver Sponsor and extra delegates IVBM4PAP
Account Holder: Medical University of Vienna
IBAN-Code: AT362011140410070700
BIC-Code: GIBAATWW
BLZ: 20111
Bank Name: ERSTE BANK
Address: Am Belvedere 1, 1100 Vienna, Austria
UID-Nr.: ATU57469858
Please be sure to include the number “KO61100002”, ideally followed by “Silver Sponsor and extra delegates IVBM4PAP” in purpose field. The university has a million accounts and this will make sure it goes to the correct project account for this meeting, whereas the latter will make it easier for us to identify that it is coming from you.
If you require an official invoice and/or receipt please let me know (with any specific information you require mentioned on it), and I will arrange for our admin to generate for you.
All the best,
Kareem

Subject: Re: [EXTERN] Re: 9th International BioBrillouin Conference | November 2025 - floor plan, sponsor info
Dear Luca,
Sorry for delayed reply.
For just the two extra badges we would generally recommend that they register as normal attendees. The reason being that rental of venue, food (lunch/dinner – provided free at conference as part of package) etc. which is not so cheap is paid by us on a per head basis, and our finances are calculated accordingly. So while we personally don’t have issue with letting two extra people in, this affects our total cost.
Regarding also having additional industry talk that is not included in the chosen sponsorship package, I will need to quickly clear this with committee as also need to make sure other sponsors who e.g. chose platinum sponsorship do not feel short-changed. I am sure we can find some arrangement. I will get back to you latest tomorrow morn.
All the best,
Kareem

Dear Stephanie and Kareem,
Can we sponsor an industry talk two and include these two extra company badges?
Sorry for insisting on the point but we would like to define the conference budget within this week.
I am also available for a short meeting today or tomorrow at your convenience

Dear Luca,
Thanks for your patience, and for the detailed note.
1. Participation/Branding
Yes—participating under the IVBM4PAP (EU project) identity and updating the booth visuals accordingly is no problem. If you would like the website and program to reflect IVBM4PAP instead of CrestOptics, please confirm and share the logo, and we’ll implement the change.
2. Badges & Logistics
On badges: could you please clarify if you mean additional exhibitor passes or standard participant registrations?
3. Invoice & Sponsorship
I’ve cc’d Kareem, who can advise on splitting the participation invoice with IIT and outline the available sponsorship packages (travel grants, fee waivers, poster prizes, coffee break, lanyards, etc.).
Best wishes,
Stephanie

Hello Stephanie,
I hope you’re well. Following up on our plans for BioBrillouin Berlin (November):
- We already have one project booth and two badges confirmed from the previous arrangement.
- We would like to participate under the IVBM4PAP (EU Project) identity rather than CrestOptics, sharing sponsor package with IIT, and update the booth branding accordingly.
Could you please confirm the following and advise on next steps?
- Project booth branding
- Is it okay to switch all booth visuals to IVBM4PAP (EU project logo/acknowledgments)?
- Can we split the participation invoice with the IIT?
- Badges & logistics
- Can we add additional badges?
- Sponsorship opportunities for young researchers
- Which sponsorship packages are still available (travel grants, fee waivers, poster prizes, coffee break, lanyards, etc.)?
If helpful, I’m happy to jump on a quick call this week to finalize. Thank you!

Dear Kareem, Dear Luca,
Thank you, Luca, and Crest Optics for supporting the BioBrillouin Conference. We’re very happy to have you involved and look forward to seeing you in Berlin.
The Harnack House has reserved the Goethe Hall (https://www.harnackhaus-berlin.mpg.de/meetings/rooms/goethe-hall) and the Planck Lobby (https://www.harnackhaus-berlin.mpg.de/meetings/rooms/planck-lobby) for our event. The Goethe Hall will host the conference talks, while the Planck Lobby will serve as the main gathering space for coffee breaks and as the exhibition area for sponsor desks. The Harnack House will provide desks, chairs, and power sockets in that area.
Could you please let me know if you will require space for an (illuminated) backdrop or any similar installations? If so, I’ll coordinate these details with the Harnack House in advance.
All the best,
Stephanie

Hi Kareem,
Yes, of course. I reached out to the Harnack House to request a rough floor plan and any relevant sponsor information.
