Dear Colleague:
Information and the invitation to exhibit at the Midwestern Vascular 2012 to be held September 6-8, 2012 at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin will be available soon.
The Society will continue to integrate the New Horizons in Vascular Surgery course with the main meeting, The remainder of the program will continue a format of broad coverage of both open and endovascular topics throughout the meeting.
The fee for exhibiting will be $3,500 for a table-top display. To show our appreciation to the exhibitors, the exhibit fee will include registration for three (3) company representatives to attend the meeting and all of the ancillary functions, which is an increase from previous years.
Again this year, in an effort to enhance participants visiting and interacting with exhibitors, the exhibits will open at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 6th and remain open through Friday evening September 8th. Teardown will begin at 4:00 p.m. Friday, September 7th through Saturday, September 8th for those company representatives that require additional time. Attendees have the opportunity to visit your company’s exhibit during prime exhibit hours including the morning and afternoon sessions of the annual meeting. A historically enjoyable evening includes the Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall on Thursday, September 6th, at which time meeting attendees and company representatives can interact in a more social and relaxed atmosphere. Additionally, we encourage all company representatives to attend the Friday evening special event that will be announced soon.
Corporate Sponsorships: If your Company has participated as a Gold or Silver Sponsor at past Society meetings, you will again have the opportunity to participate in this year’s meeting as a Platinum, Gold or Silver Sponsor. These sponsorships, in the form of Educational Grants of $12,000, $10,00 or $7,500 (in addition to the exhibit fees) will be rewarded by special recognition during the meeting. Companies who have not participated as Corporate Sponsors in the past are welcome to participate in this support of our annual meeting.
We hope that this year your company will consider participating as an Educational Sponsor.
Thank you for your consideration and support of the Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society and its educational programs to enhance patient care. We look forward to working with you and to welcoming you back to Chicago for an excellent meeting.
Sincerely yours,
Robert G. Molnar, MD, Co-Chair, 2012 Industry Relations
