Service Kit

 
You won't want to miss The Midyear's Keynote Address since we have a very special speaker: President Bill Clinton. As such, ASHP must adhere to strict guidelines and procedures related to his appearance in order to comply with security issues and the large crowd that is expected. Please note the following if you when you arrive on Monday: The seating in the Mandalay Bay Events Center is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Doors open at 8:00am. You must be wearing your badge to enter the Events Center so consider picking this up before Monday to avoid long lines. ASHP recommends exhibitors use the over flow room if you plan to leave before 11:00am to go to your booth, overflow locations will be listed in the Final Facts Newsletter in November.
