SSC Overview and History
The SSC is a permanent committee of the ISTH and is its scientific working arm. The SSC
began in 1954 as the International Committee for the Standardization of the Nomenclature
of the Blood Clotting Factors. Sixteen original members came together to meet the urgent
need to communicate a consistent nomenclature for the many new clotting factors identified
at the time. In 1958, the Committee adopted the Roman numeral system to label blood
clotting factors, and by 1963, the system was the standard in professional literature. The
group changed its name to the International Committee on Thrombosis and Haemostasis
(ICTH) as its scope subsequently expanded to tackle new problems in the fields of blood
coagulation and hemorrhagic disorders. Years later, the ICTH felt the need for a larger, more
open organization to support the international dissemination of information. In 1969, it
founded the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) and changed its
name to the Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC).
Today, the SSC supports the ISTH’s mission by providing a forum where internationally
recognized experts consider and discuss practical issues related to thrombosis and
disorders of hemostasis. Conducting work through 20 subcommittees and working groups,
SSC activities promote cooperation among leading international scientists and direct their
energies to projects that generate reliable, standardized clinical and basic science tools.
The SSC disseminates this knowledge to the global community by promoting education and
exchange of ideas through publication of official reports, recommendations, and scientific
meetings, notable of which is the annual meeting of the Scientific and Standardization
Committee (SSC Annual Meeting).
In years coinciding with the ISTH biennial congress (odd years), the SSC Annual Meeting
occurs just prior to the congress. In non-congress years, the SSC holds a stand-alone
meeting, the last three of which have been held in Liverpool (2012), Cairo (2010), and
Vienna (2008).

SSC 2014 Annual Meeting
The sponsorship
opportunities outlined
in this prospectus are
proposals only.
The ISTH will hold its 60th Annual Meeting of the SSC (SSC 2014) from June 23 to
June 26 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
The ISTH recognizes
the important role its
corporate partners play
as contributing stakeholders, and welcomes
ideas on alternatives
and input from partners
to develop a package to
meet their needs.
In 2014, the SSC will celebrate 60 years of science, commemorating the set-up of the
International Committee for the Standardization of the Nomenclature of the Blood Clotting Factors in 1954. The Scientific Program will have a focus on the rapidly changing
field of thrombosis and haemostasis as molecular evolution prompts new approaches
to regulatory control of our physiological, pathological and pharmacologic processes.
Additionally, it will focus on research opportunities, peer connections and probing the
areas of our genome.

Due to increasingly strict regulatory environments and feedback from our industry partners,
we recognize some support items like social events have been considered as non-sponsorable. However, because some re-interpretations suggest food and beverage may be paid
for by companies if considered a reasonable meal or refreshment for a delegate during the
course of the meeting, we are including such items in this prospectus should your team
decide you can consider them.
In case you have an idea for a service, sponsorship or promotional option not included in
this manual, please let us know. We are always happy to discuss opportunities that provide
benefits to our delegates, industry partners and the ISTH.

WiFi at events is no longer a ‘nice to have’. Reliable WiFi access is a critical musthave productivity tool. Today, almost all laptops and other mobile devices have wireless
capabilities and enable their users to access their e-mail and browse the Internet from

work, WiFi access is essential to stay connected and to save on costly roaming charges.

provide a service which will certainly be very useful to most attendees. WiFi internet
access will be available throughout the Delta Center and will provide sufficient coverage
and bandwidth for the expected number of attendees.

Sponsored
Symposia
Distinctions
ISTH offers two kinds of
sponsored symposia: Special
and Satellite Symposia.
Neither symposium type is
included as part of the ISTH
meeting CME. Sponsors may
elect to provide CME through
a provider of their choice and
cost. Or sponsors may directly
develop the program. CME
is not required by ISTH for
sponsored symposia
There are, however, key
distinctions and requirements
between ITH Special and
Satellite symposia.
Special Symposia are
considered and positioned as
part of the official scientific
program of the meeting. As
such, a Special Symposium
must be of an educational
quality and be compatible
with the overall meeting
program. No product-oriented
programs are permitted. A
Special Symposium’s program
may be developed by the
sponsor and requires approval
from the Local Organizers.
Satellite Symposia &
Technical Sessions allow
more flexibility in content.
These symposia may
be product-oriented or
educational in scope and will
be positioned as such. The
sponsor is required to inform
the Local Organizers of the
program.
Symposia sponsors are
required to inform a
subcontractor of all rules
and requirements by ISTH in
preparing the program.
One Speaker Rule
As per date of printing, the ISTH One Speaker Rule will apply to all special and satellite
symposia, and technical sessions. This rule states:
• Speakers at industry symposia/technical sessions are limited to participating in no
more than one such symposium. In addition, they may chair another industry symposium/technical session as long as chairmanship does not include any responsibility to
present.
• Speakers at industry symposia cannot present on the same topic in the official scientific/educational program of the congress.
To facilitate the selection of speakers by sponsors, ISTH will post on the meeting website
the names, topics and affiliations of all speakers at the SSC 2014 meeting two (months
prior to the deadline required for sponsored symposia program outlines.

Industry Guidelines
ISTH reminds sponsors, exhibitors and their agents or designees of their responsibility
to be aware of and to abide by all ISTH guidelines and other applicable codes regarding
the relationship between the pharmaceutical and medical device/equipment industry
and healthcare professionals that pertain to your company and/or the country in which

ISTH may offer no advice that can be construed as legal.
Cancellation of SSC 2014
It is mutually agreed that in the event of total or partial cancellation of the 60th SSC
Annual SSC Meeting of the ISTH due to fire, strike, natural disaster (either threatened
or actual), government regulations or causes which would prevent its scheduled
opening, continuance and are outside of ISTH’s control, this agreement will become
null and void, and ISTH shall determine an equitable basis for a refund of a portion of
fees after due consideration of expenditures and commitments already made. Under no
circumstances are the Organizers responsible for any supporting company’s expenses
(such as travel, lodging, or exhibit shipping), or any other incidental or consequential
damages.
