2010 Annual Meeting — Invitation to Exhibitors
 | | On behalf of the Executive Council and the membership of the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), you are cordially invited to participate in the 2010 ARRS Annual Meeting. The meeting is May 2–7 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego in San Diego, CA. The exhibit hall will be open Monday, May 3–Wednesday, May 5 from 9:15 am–4:30 pm each day. A midmorning break, lunch and an afternoon break will be served daily in the exhibit hall. |
The 2010 commercial exhibition will provide your company with the opportunity to:
- showcase and promote products and services to about 2,300 physicians representing both academic and private practice,
- develop new sales contacts in the radiology community, and
- network and interact with current users of your company’s products and services.
Our meeting provides a unique opportunity for you to spend quality time with attendees and to build stronger relationships with current and potential customers.
As noted above, ARRS plans two breaks and a lunch in the exhibit hall each day to drive traffic into the hall. In addition:
- ARRS will distribute "passports" to attendees that you will stamp if the attendee visits your booth. The stamps on the passport will enter the attendee in a prize drawing.
- ARRS will assist exhibitors with the coordination of hands-on in-booth product demonstrations and register attendees to participate in these demonstrations.
ARRS also offers a wide range of sponsorship options (see page 10) to provide you with the opportunity to increase your company's visibility at this important conference.
The 2010 program will feature a categorical course on practical approaches to imaging common clinical conditions and a case-based imaging review course. Instructional courses and scientific paper presentations on abdominal, breast, cardiopulmonary, pediatric, and musculoskeletal imaging, as well as courses on emergency radiology, neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, and interventional radiology will be held throughout the week.
Your presence at this meeting will help you build your company’s image and reinforce its leadership position in the field of radiology. I look forward to having you join us in San Diego.
Sincerely,
 Philip Costello, MD, Chair Corporate Relations Committee American Roentgen Ray Society
