Who should partner and why?
The 31st annual Congress of the World Muscle Society provides a key platform for organisations to connect with new partners and share scientific and educational content. Bringing together stakeholders from across the global neuromuscular field, the Congress offers a platform for both in-person and online engagement, supporting collaboration, learning, and knowledge exchange. Organisations involved in drug development, medical equipment, research, or therapeutic interventions for neuromuscular disorders, as well as those focused on commercialising research products, will find the WMS Congress highly relevant.
Key benefits of partnership:
- Presence at the world’s leading Congress on neuromuscular disorders.
- Exposure to 1,500+ delegates as well as those visiting the online platform.
- Influence leading policy and decision-makers, scientists, researchers, and clinicians as well as the next generation of leaders in this field.
- Actively participate and gain exceptional exposure. Our event offers an array of opportunities to elevate your organisation’s profile, both before, during, and after the Congress, by aligning with our event marketing and online platform.
- Create possibilities for future collaborations with leading figures in the sector. It’s a hub for networking and forming relationships that can shape the future.
- Stay informed about the latest trends, techniques, and developments in neuromuscular disorders. The Congress is a platform to learn, discuss, and predict future trends and the necessary innovations in the field.

Expanded market
After two years of virtual events followed by four hybrid Congresses, our reach has expanded to a wider audience. Many of these delegates have been encouraged to attend the Congress in person.
Face to face
Delegates are keen to maintain meeting face to face and build meaningful relationships.
Keep science going
Allow science to progress and education to continue, no matter the external circumstances.
Longer exposure
The hybrid event means you will get visibility and interaction during the live event plus the three months following with
on-demand content. Receive exposure for months beyond the dates of the Congress.
Visibility
Put your brand and organisation name directly in front of delegates.
Recognition of partnership level
Rather than predetermined partnership tiers, all elements are available to select from an application booking form. Partnership opportunities will be allocated by the WMS Committee to align with delegate and partner feedback received over the years.
Please refer to the Key dates and deadlines page for rounds one and two of the application booking form.
Please note that only the first application booking form received per global organisation, including any subsidiaries, parent companies, or affiliated organisations, will be accepted for review. Partners will be placed in a partnership tier according to their overall contribution to the WMS 2026 Congress. The partnership tier will determine where logos will be placed in recognition displays.
