The ILAE British Branch is grateful for the generous support from all its sponsors. The companies supporting the meeting have had no editorial input into or control over the programme, except for the sponsored educational symposia. Sponsorship from the companies is used towards a commercial exhibition stand and/or a medical education symposium. Individual compliance statements are included in the company profile in the conference handbook and next to any medical educational symposia. Unless specifically stated in the programme, funding from sponsoring companies has not been used for the purposes of entertainment.
