Utilizing TCT Faculty TCT faculty may be invited to speak at a program, and there is no limit to the number of TCT faculty included in a satellite program. Please note that housing arrangements for TCT faculty are made by CRF. You may find a list of TCT faculty at: http://www.crf.org/tct/about-tct/faculty Utilizing Non-TCT Faculty While satellite sponsors are not required to use TCT faculty, CRF is not responsible for any costs associated with non-TCT faculty participation in a satellite program, including but not limited to travel, housing, TCT registration fees, and incidentals. Faculty Conflicts Honoraria Although not mandatory, it is an industry standard to pay honoraria to satellite program presenters. On average, satellite program chairs are compensated $2,500, and other presenters are typically compensated $1,500 for their participation. Sponsoring companies are required to compensate presenters directly, regardless of whether the presenter is a TCT faculty member. The Cardiovascular Research Foundation requests that TCT faculty not commit to conflicting speaking engagements. Whenever possible, the Cardiovascular Research Foundation will notify the sponsoring company or its organizing agency of any scheduling conflicts. However, the Cardiovascular Research Foundation is neither required to nor responsible for notifying sponsoring companies or their organizing agencies of faculty conflicts or for resolving scheduling conflicts. TRANSCATHETER CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPEUTICS 2015 3 SATELLITE PLANNING GUIDE Faculty Information Speaker Ready Room One of the keys to a successful satellite program is ensuring that slide presentations run properly during the live program. Therefore, presenters must visit the Speaker Ready Room well in advance of their presentation to allow for sufficient time to review slides (times noted below).

No other promotional items are authorized to be placed outside of the assigned Evening Program room. CRF will provide directional signage only. CMR, the official TCT Registration Bureau, will manage registration for all TCT satellite programs. The registration process will include pre-program and on-site registration, and post-program reporting. 8 SATELLITE PLANNING GUIDE Registration for Satellite Programs Advance Registration (Pre-registration) Physicians and allied health professionals will be prompted to register for satellite programs when they register for TCT 2015 in early August 2015. Industry professionals will not be permitted to pre-register for satellite programs. Attendees registering online will be directed to the complete satellite program schedule and can register for programs of interest with a simple mouse click. Additionally, those attendees who have already registered for the meeting will receive email notifications from CMR with a link to the online satellite program registration page encouraging them to register for satellite programs. In early August 2015, the contact listed on the sponsoring company’s application will receive a link and login credentials to CMR’s registration reporting portal. This reporting portal will allow sponsors on-demand access to the list of registered attendees for their satellite program. The sponsoring company will also receive this list directly from CMR every Friday starting in early August 2015. The reports will include the following attendee information: • • • • • Name Affiliation Mailing address Phone Email IMPORTANT: These weekly reports are provided purely for informational purposes only. No other uses are permitted. Per the Cardiovascular Research Foundation’s policy, these reports /lists cannot be gifted, sold, traded, or otherwise shared with any other company, entity or person. Names and contact details may not be entered into a database or distribution list for future uses. On-site Registration CMR will continue to collect registrations for satellite programs on-site at TCT, at the TCT Attendee Registration Desk, and at self-registration kiosks located in the convention center until the day of the satellite program. Lead-Retrieval Systems Sponsoring companies are entitled to lead-retrieval systems (number of systems noted below) on-site to track satellite program attendance. Satellite sponsors will be responsible for the on-site operation of lead-retrieval systems. The tracking systems will require at least one person per system to scan badges as registrants arrive for the satellite program. Satellite sponsors will be responsible for the cost of the lead-retrieval system if lost or not returned. The systems are battery operated and do not require electricity. •B reakfast Meeting sponsors will receive two lead-retrieval systems •P resentation Theater Program sponsors will receive two lead-retrieval systems •E vening Program sponsors will receive four lead-retrieval systems Pickup and Drop-off •B reakfast Meeting sponsors may pick up the lead-retrieval systems (2) at 6:00 am at the Lead-Retrieval Desk at TCT Registration in the Moscone South Lobby and are responsible for dropping-off the systems at the same location between 8:00 am-8:30 am. •P resentation Theater Program sponsors may pick up the lead-retrieval systems (2) at 11:00 am at the Lead-Retrieval Desk at TCT Registration in the Moscone South Lobby and are responsible for dropping-off the systems at the same location within one hour of the end of their program.

Satellite Symposia Guide The Cardiovascular Research Foundation will also e-blast the satellite program schedule to over 70,000 prospective and confirmed attendees of TCT at least three times prior to TCT. In addition, satellite program schedule will be included online at www.tctconference.com and listed in the official TCT Events app. Attendance While CRF makes every effort to promote and encourage attendees to attend your satellite program, CRF cannot guarantee attendance. It is the sponsoring company’s responsibility to create awareness of its program at TCT through pre-meeting mailings and on-site promotions to draw attendees to their satellite program. The Satellite Symposia Guide is a brochure that includes a complete listing of all satellite programs and includes each satellite program’s agenda (assuming the agenda has been submitted to the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and has been approved), the invited faculty, and the location of each of the satellite programs. The Satellite Symposia Guide is disseminated at the registration counters on-site at TCT and distributed at the satellite symposia kiosks and in the TCT daily bags. Please see Promotion by the Sponsoring Company for information about additional advertising opportunities in the Satellite Symposia Guide. Also included in the Satellite Symposia Guide is a registration mechanism instructing attendees on how to register for satellite programs (online and email). TRANSCATHETER CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPEUTICS 2015 10 SATELLITE PLANNING GUIDE Promoting a Satellite Program Onsite Promotion Satellite Symposia Wall Satellite Symposia Kiosks To enhance awareness of your satellite program, we have created a Satellite Symposia Wall. The wall will be located in the convention center in the Moscone Lower Level North-South Concourse, outside Hall D, and you will be able to add a 22” x 28” sign for each satellite program the day before its occurrence. Please note that each day’s signs will be removed at the end of that day. Signs should be created on poster board (or another light substrate) and will be affixed to the Satellite Symposia Wall with Velcro by staff. Brochures promoting satellite programs may be placed at official satellite symposia kiosks located in several strategic places throughout the convention center. In compliance with ACCME guidelines, distributing industry-sponsored meeting information in any other location in the convention center is strictly prohibited with the exception of in the sponsoring or supporting company’s booth. Sponsoring companies or their organizing agency may send 500 brochures for distribution at the satellite symposia kiosks beginning on September 8, 2015, for arrival on or before October 1, 2015, to the address below. All boxes must be labeled: Freeman – Show Management Material CRF Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics Hold for TCT 2015 – Satellite Symposia Kiosk C/O FREEMAN 245 S. Spruce Ave., Suite 100 S.

TRANSCATHETER CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPEUTICS 2015 11 SATELLITE PLANNING GUIDE Promoting a Satellite Program Promotion by the Sponsoring Company Although the Cardiovascular Research Foundation promotes all scheduled satellite programs, sponsoring companies and their organizing agencies are strongly encouraged to promote satellite programs independently, as creating awareness does have an impact on attendance. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this. Satellite Symposia Guide Sponsoring companies may advertise in the Satellite Symposia Guide. The cost of placing a four-color 8.5” x 11” advertisement in the Satellite Symposia Guide is as follows: • $6,500 for one advertisement • $10,000 for two advertisements • $15,000 for three advertisements Marketing Pieces Promotional Approval Marketing materials must include registration details. Attendees may register for satellite programs by visiting the website: Advertisements, brochures, flyers, and postcards must be approved by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation before printing. Submissions must be sent via email as PDF attachments with page divisions clearly defined to Tara Donegan at [email protected] by August 28, 2015. www.tctconference.com/satelliteprograms The TCT logo must be included on marketing pieces promoting the satellite program, except for signage. Logos may be downloaded online: http://www.crf.org/tct/about-tct/ resources The TCT logo may be anywhere on the printed piece, but the phrase “A Breakfast Meeting at”, “A Presentation Theater Program at” or “An Evening Program at” must be placed directly above the TCT logo (see example below). The logo may not be altered in any way. Satellite sponsors may be promoted by mailing a marketing piece to the TCT pre-registration list. Included in the application fee, the TCT pre-registered list will be provided for one-time use. The list will be sent four weeks prior to the conference via email to sponsoring companies or their organizing agency as an Excel spreadsheet. The list includes mailing addresses only for pre-registered physicians and healthcare providers (industry representatives are excluded) and contains approximately 2,500-3,000 names (subject to change). The list is seeded and companies who mail to the list more than once will be billed $3,500 for each use. TriStar Publishing is the official daily bag provider for TCT. This shared marketing opportunity offers sponsoring companies the opportunity to deliver brochures, flyers, and invitations directly to the attendees as they enter the convention center. Promotional pieces must be approved by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation. Please contact Tristar Publishing for additional information, including quantities, pricing, and shipping labels. For more information, please contact: Advertisements must be approved by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and must be sent via email to Tara Donegan at [email protected] by September 9, 2015. Payments must be received prior to this date. TCT Pre-registration List Daily Bag Marketing materials should instruct attendees wishing to register by email to include their name, contact information, and the program for which they are registering. The mandatory information to be included in order for your brochure to be approved includes: • Title of meeting • Location • Date • Time •C ME statement for meetings supported through an educational grant (if applicable) • Faculty • TCT logo (as described herein) •R egistration details (as described herein) TRANSCATHETER CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPEUTICS 2015 Nan Blunk, Brennah Tate, or Darcey Tenbrink TriStar Publishing, Inc. 7285 W. 132nd Street, Suite 300 Overland Park, KS 66213 Tel: 913-491-4200 Fax: 913-491-4202 Email: Nan Blunk, [email protected] Brennah Tate, [email protected] Darcey Tenbrink, [email protected] 12 SATELLITE PLANNING GUIDE Promoting a Satellite Program TCTMD TCTMD offers many opportunities to promote a satellite program. E-blasts (electronic email messages) distributed to members of the opt-in TCTMD database reach over 40,000 subscribers. The cost to distribute one e-blast is $18,000 during peak dates. TCTMD is available to design the e-blast for an additional $2,500. Sponsoring companies will receive e-blast metrics two weeks following the e-blast distribution. Sponsoring companies may also host an online version of a satellite program on TCTMD for up to one year, extending the life of the satellite program. This year, TCTMD is pleased to offer two opportunities to extend a satellite program far beyond TCT 2015: Option 1: Within the “TCT 2015 Slide Presentation” section of TCTMD, there will be a Satellite Program tab. This tab will take you to a listing of satellite programs by day. The page for each day will list that day’s satellite programs with links to individual pages on which the presentations will be posted. The presentations will be listed in a table. On this page, each presentation title will launch a webcast of the presentation slides with synchronized audio that progresses without user intervention. Cost: $12,500 Option 2: CRF will design and develop a webcast console within TCTMD’s multimedia section under “Educational Webcasts” or “CME Programs” (depending on CME accreditation). A webcast program will be developed that starts with a program-specific landing page designed with the program’s themes and will provide information about the topics being discussed as well as the presenters participating. Links will be placed in a table along with profile photos and affiliations for each presenter. These links will launch the presentation slides with synchronized audio that progresses without user intervention. Cost: Starting at $25,000 Both options include the recording and synchronizing of all slide presentations that are part of the satellite program and hosting for six months (longer terms available). Should you wish for your satellite program to be CME accredited by CRF or another accrediting agency (Option 2 only), TCTMD can also host pre-test, post-test, and evaluation forms for CME-accredited programs (additional fees apply). TCTMD will promote the enduring materials through advertisements in an edition of the TCTMD weekly electronic newsletter and also distribute a stand-alone email on a mutually agreed upon date during the life of the program.
