Guide to PLANNING A
Breakfast Meeting at tct
Faculty Information
Breakfast Meetings generally have between two
and four presenters including a program chair.
The sponsoring company or its organizing
agency is responsible for confirming presenters
and communicating important information about
the Breakfast Meeting directly to the presenters.
Utilizing TCT Faculty
TCT faculty may be invited to speak at a
Breakfast Meeting, and there is no limit to the
number of TCT faculty included in a satellite
symposium. The Cardiovascular Research
Foundation (CRF) will invoice Breakfast
Meeting sponsors for one night’s stay for
each TCT faculty member involved in the
Breakfast Meeting, estimated at $350 per
faculty (nightly rate plus taxes; this is an
average cost and subject to change). If a
faculty member is scheduled to speak at
several satellite symposia on the same day, the
housing cost will be equally divided among
sponsoring companies. Please note that
housing arrangements for TCT faculty are made
by CRF. Breakfast Meeting sponsors will be
invoiced for the faculty member’s housing on or
before January 1, 2014, and payment must be
received within 30 days of receipt of invoice.
Utilizing Non-TCT Faculty
While Breakfast Meeting sponsors are not
required to use TCT faculty, CRF is not
responsible for any costs associated with
non-TCT faculty participation in a Breakfast
Meeting including, but not limited to, travel,
housing, TCT registration fees, and incidentals.
Faculty Conflicts
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.
Honoraria
Although not mandatory, it is industry standard
to pay honoraria to satellite symposium
presenters. On average, satellite symposium
chairs are compensated $2,500 and other
presenters are typically compensated $1,500
for participation. Sponsoring companies are
required to compensate presenters directly,
regardless of whether the presenter is a TCT
faculty member.
Speaker Ready Room
Breakfast Meeting presenters must visit the
Speaker Ready Room, located in the Moscone
North Lobby, one day prior to the Breakfast
Meeting to allow for sufficient time to review
slides. Speakers may not download their
presentations in the Breakfast Meeting room
or use their own laptops.
Please note the following presentation format
instructions:
• Microsoft Office PowerPoint (PPT and PPTX
formats) with linked or embedded videos
will be accepted
• Only fonts standard with Microsoft Office may
be used
• All original video files, even if embedded,
must be submitted
• Videos must be saved in one folder;
subfolders are not permitted
The Speaker Ready Room may be visited during
the following hours:
Speaker Ready Room Hours
Saturday, October 26
3:00 pm-7:00 pm
Sunday, October 27
6:00 am-6:30 pm
Monday, October 28

Please note that if a presentation is not
uploaded in Speaker Ready Room at least
three hours (3) prior to the presentation time (or
the day before if you have one of the first
presentations in the morning), the presentation
may not be properly recorded or included in
any media distributed post show (eg, DVDs or
online distribution of the session’s content).

Badge Policies
All persons associated with a Breakfast
Meeting, including presenters, organizers, and
employees of the sponsoring company, are
required to wear a TCT badge to grant them
admission into the Moscone Center. Breakfast
Meeting-only badges will be available in the
rare instance that someone is not registered for
TCT (eg, non-TCT faculty or medical education
staff). These badges are clearly marked and will
not grant access to any other areas within the
Moscone Center. Those wishing to attend
sessions in addition to the Breakfast Meeting
must register for TCT and pay appropriate
registration fees. There is a limit of ten (10)
Breakfast Meeting badges per sponsoring
company.
A list of names for Breakfast Meeting
badges must be submitted via e-mail to
Elizabeth DeVita-Coyle, ecoyle@crf.org,
by October 4, 2013.

Logistical Information
Program Agendas
Program agendas must be submitted to the
Cardiovascular Research Foundation by
August 30, 2013. Agendas submitted after
that date will not be included in the TCT
Satellite Symposia Guide but will be
posted on the TCT conference Web site,
www.tctconference.com.
Program agendas must be submitted
through our online agenda system. Once
sponsors enter the agenda and click
‘submit,’ the agenda will be sent to CRF
for review.
Upon approval by CRF, the agenda will be
published on the TCT conference Web site,
www.tctconference.com.
The online agenda submission site can be
accessed at industry.crf.org. In order to
create your program in the online agenda
system, you will need to enter your user
name and password that will be provided to
you by e-mail.
If you are unable to locate your user name
and password, please contact Elizabeth
DeVita-Coyle at ecoyle@crf.org.
Food and Beverage
A continental breakfast is included in the
Breakfast Meeting application fee. This includes
coffee, tea, fruit juices, and breakfast pastries
(the Cardiovascular Research Foundation
reserves the right to make minor adjustments to
the menu). Additional menu items may be
ordered through the official Moscone Center
caterer. Breakfast will be served each morning
at 6:30 am. If ordering additional menu items,
the Moscone Center requires that all menus be
ordered by October 4, 2013, and finalized 10
business days prior to the Breakfast Meeting.
For additional information, including pricing,
please contact:
Robert Duncan
The Moscone Center, Catering
Tel: 415-974-4040 (office)
Tel: 415-267-6427 (direct)
E-mail: rduncan@moscone.com
Housing
Housing arrangements may be made through
the official TCT Housing Bureau, Convention
Management Resources (CMR), and can be
made online when registering for TCT.
Sponsoring companies with representatives
who are not registered for TCT but require
housing should contact Julie Noto at
jnoto@cmrus.com or 504-872-9805.
Room Setup
Breakfast Meeting rooms are set up with one
head table, one podium, and theater-style
seating for approximately 100 attendees.
This setup maximizes attendance and may
not be adjusted. Breakfast Meeting rooms
cannot accommodate tables for product
displays or demonstrations. Due to security
issues, sponsoring companies will not have
access to Breakfast Meeting rooms until
6:00 am on the day of the meeting.
Signage
The sponsoring company or its organizing
agency is responsible for providing
one 28” x 44” sign to be placed outside the
meeting room. Easels will be provided by the
Moscone Center. Signs for Breakfast
Meetings placed elsewhere in the Moscone
Center are prohibited (with the exception of
the commercial supporter’s booth) and will be
removed and discarded. Signs do not require
approval by the Cardiovascular Research
Foundation nor does the TCT logo need to
appear on the sign. Directional signs to the
Breakfast Meeting rooms are produced and
placed by the Cardiovascular Research
Foundation throughout the Moscone Center.

Satellite Symposium Registration
Convention Management Resources (CMR),
the official TCT Registration Bureau, will
manage registration for all TCT satellite
symposia. The registration process will include
pre-program and on-site registration, and
post-program reporting.
Advance Registration
(Preregistration)
Physicians and allied health professionals will
be prompted to register for satellite symposia
when they register for TCT in early August
2013. Industry professionals will not be
permitted to register for satellite symposia.
Attendees registering online will be directed to
the complete satellite symposium 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 e-mail notification from
CMR with a link to the online satellite
symposium registration page encouraging them
to register for satellite symposia.
Although online registration is preferable,
attendees may also register for a satellite
symposium by e-mail at TCTReg@cmrus.com.
In early August 2013, the sponsoring
company’s contact listed on the 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 CRM every Friday
starting in early August 2013. The reports will
include the following attendee information:
• Name
• Affiliation
• Mailing address
• Phone*
• Fax*
• E-mail*
* Registrants may “opt out” of supplying phone, fax,
and/or e-mail information. It is the Cardiovascular
Research Foundation’s policy that the sponsoring
company send a communication to registrants who
have supplied their phone, fax, and/or e-mail
information requesting permission to be contacted in
the future instead of adding registrant details directly to
sales and marketing databases.
On-site Registration
CMR will continue to collect registrations for
satellite symposia on-site at TCT, at the TCT
Attendee Registration Desk, and at selfregistration
kiosks in the Moscone Center.
Sponsoring companies or their organizing
agency may pick up the most recent list of
registrants for their programs at the
registration desk on the afternoon before
their Breakfast Meeting.
Sponsoring companies will receive two
lead-retrieval systems on-site to track program
attendance. The lead-retrieval systems require
one person per machine to swipe badges as
registrants arrive for the program.
Lead-retrieval systems may be picked up
by the sponsoring company between
6:00 am-7:00 am at the lead-retrieval desk in the
Moscone South Lobby.
Breakfast Meeting sponsors are responsible for
dropping off the lead-retrieval systems at the
same location between 8:00 am-8:30 am. The
systems are battery operated and do not
require electricity.
Post-Meeting Reporting
A complete list of Breakfast Meeting attendees
collected from the lead-retrieval systems will be
provided to the sponsoring company or
organizing agency two business days after the
close of TCT via e-mail. Additionally, all
sponsoring companies or their organizing
agency will receive a comprehensive report
seven business days from the close of the
meeting via e-mail.
This report will contain a list of:
• Those who preregistered for the satellite
symposium and attended
• Those who preregistered for the satellite
symposium but did not attend
• Those who registered for the satellite
symposium on-site
For additional information or to order additional
lead-retrieval machines, please contact:

Promoting a Satellite Symposium
Promotion by the Cardiovascular
Research Foundation
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation
promotes the satellite symposium schedule
through several methods prior to as well as
on-site at TCT.
Attendance
While CRF makes every effort to promote and
encourage attendees to attend your satellite
symposium, CRF cannot guarantee attendance.
It is the sponsoring company’s responsibility to
create awareness of its event at TCT through
premeeting mailings and on-site promotions to
drawn attendees to their satellite program.
Premeeting Promotion
The Satellite Symposia Guide is a brochure
that includes a complete listing of all satellite
symposia and includes each satellite
symposium’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 symposia. The Satellite Symposia
Guide is mailed to the TCT preregistration list
one month prior to TCT. Included in the Satellite
Symposia Guide is a registration mechanism
instructing attendees on how to register for
satellite symposia (online and e-mail).
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.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation will
also e-blast the satellite symposium schedule
to over 70,000 prospective and confirmed
attendees of TCT at least three times prior
to TCT. In addition, satellite symposia
schedules will be included online at
www.tctconference.com and listed in
the official TCT app.
On-site Promotion
Brochures promoting satellite symposia may be
placed at official satellite symposia kiosks located
in several strategic places throughout the
Moscone Center. In compliance with ACCME
guidelines, distributing industry-sponsored
meeting information in any other location in the
Moscone Center is strictly prohibited with the
exception of in the sponsoring or supporting
company’s booth.
Satellite Symposia Agenda Wall
We are excited to share an on-site promotional
opportunity to enhance awareness of your
satellite symposia. The Satellite Symposia
Agenda Wall will be located in the main
registration area, and you will be able to add a
22” x 28” sign for each satellite symposium the
day before. Please note that each day’s signs
will be removed at the end of that day. Signs
should be created on posterboard and will be
affixed to the Satellite Symposia Agenda Wall
with Velcro by staff.
You may either mail satellite symposia signs
prior to TCT to the address below or deliver
signs on-site to the Exhibit Service Desk in the
Exhibit Hall.
Advanced mail Signs
For advanced mail of signs, signs must arrive
on or before October 18, 2013. Please
label boxes:

Promoting a Satellite Symposium
Promotion by the
Sponsoring Company
Premeeting Promotion
Although the Cardiovascular Research
Foundation promotes all scheduled satellite
symposia, sponsoring companies and their
organizing agencies are strongly encouraged
to promote satellite symposia independently
as creating awareness does have an impact
on symposium attendance. There are a
variety of ways to accomplish this.
First, 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
Advertisements must be approved by
the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and
must be sent via e-mail to Elizabeth DeVita-
Coyle, ecoyle@crf.org, by September 11, 2013.
Payments must be received prior to this date.
Additionally, Breakfast Meetings may be
promoted by mailing a marketing piece to the
TCT preregistration list. The preregistration list
(value $3,500) is included in the Breakfast
Meeting application fee. The list will be sent via
e-mail to sponsoring companies or their
organizing agency as an Excel spreadsheet.
The list includes mailing addresses only for
preregistered physicians and health care
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
additional use.
Advertisements, brochures, flyers, and
postcards must be approved by the
Cardiovascular Research Foundation before
printing. Submissions must be sent via e-mail
as PDF attachments with page divisions
clearly defined to Elizabeth DeVita-Coyle,
ecoyle@crf.org, by September 11, 2013.
Marketing materials must include registration
details. Attendees may register for satellite
symposia by visiting the Web site address:
http://www.tctconference.com/satelliteprograms
The TCT logo must be included on marketing
pieces promoting Breakfast Meetings, except
for signage. Logos may be downloaded online:
http://www.tctconference.com/logos
The TCT logo may be anywhere on the printed
piece, but the phrase “A Breakfast Meeting at”
must be placed directly above the TCT logo
(see example below). The logo may not be
altered in any way.
Marketing materials should instruct attendees
wishing to register by fax or e-mail to include
their name, contact information, and the
symposium 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: Breakfast will be served at 6:30 am,
the Breakfast Meeting runs from
7:00 am-8:00 am, and the breakfast time must
be separated on all invitations from the
program time
• CME statement for meetings supported
through an educational grant
• Faculty
• TCT logo (as described herein)
• Registration details (as described herein)
Sponsoring companies or their organizing
agency may send 500 brochures for distribution
at the satellite symposia kiosks for arrival on or
before October 18, 2013. All boxes must be
labeled:
TCT 2013 c/o NexxtShow

Promoting a Satellite Symposium
TCTMD
TCTMD offers many opportunities to promote a
satellite symposium. E-blasts (electronic e-mail
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 for 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 symposium on TCTMD for
up to one year, extending the life of the satellite
symposium. This year, TCTMD is pleased to
offer two opportunities to extend a satellite
symposium far beyond TCT 2013:
Option 1: Within the “TCT 2013 Slide
Presentation” section of TCTMD, there will be a
Satellite Symposium tab. This tab will take you
to a listing of satellite symposia by day. The
page for each day will list that day’s satellite
symposia 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 symposium-specific landing page
designed with the symposium’s themes and
providing 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 symposium and hosting for
six months (longer terms available). Should you
wish for your satellite symposium (Option 2
only) to be CME accredited by CRF or another
accrediting agency, 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 e-mail on a
mutually agreed upon date during the
life of the program.
