A message from ASHP

SEPTEMBER EXHIBITOR NEWSLETTER

ASHP’s 43rd Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition in Orlando is fast approaching! We are excited to bring our meeting to this fun filled city and even more thrilled you will be joining us.

Midyear Fun Facts! Did you know…

If Chicago’s Sears Tower, 1,454 feet in height, was placed on its side, it would fit lengthwise inside the Orange County Convention Center’s West exhibition space, including the antenna atop the Sears tower. The OCCC exhibition hall level is 2,500 feet in length and all eight halls are contiguous.

Exhibit Yellow Pages

ASHP is excited to offer this new opportunity to increase your company’s visibility to our meeting attendees. This low cost promotional tool allows meeting attendees to easily search for your company’s booth in print and electronically. Participating companies will have the ability to highlight their products and services by providing a 50 word description, a color logo, as well as, a clickable link to their company’s website on the interactive floorplan. Printed versions will be distributed outside of the exhibit hall and the electronic version will be hosted on the Midyear Clinical meeting website for one year. For more information, click here.
