Exhibiting Opportunities
Exhibiting is your best opportunity to connect with the most influential and exclusive group of clinicians, scientists, health care professionals, and laser technicians in the market.
The exhibit hall is an important part of the educational experience for attendees. It’s about networking, education, and providing attendees with information on how to fill their practice needs and challenges. We make it convenient for attendees to visit the exhibits by offering the following amenities and activities in the exhibit hall:
- Daily food and beverage breaks and lunch
- ePoster viewing stations
- Ask Me Anything and ePoster Town Hall presentations
- Exhibit Hall Social & Silent/Live Auction
