A Joint Symposium at another organization’s meeting is defined as a single session of up to 180 minutes whose content is developed by both partnering organizations and which is scheduled to take place as a single session within a larger meeting conducted by the Host organization.

Engagement in Joint Symposia is limited to live (face-to-face) educational activities conducted by non-profit professional medical societies, governmental agencies/regulatory authorities, and non-profit, disease/therapy-oriented membership organizations, including patient organizations, not affiliated with any commercial entity. Joint symposia will not be conducted with individuals or with healthcare providers / organizations / institutions.
