Events that only include staff of the exhibiting company. There are no date and time restrictions; however, these events require approval from AAOS. These meetings cannot include AAOS attendees unless the individual is an employee of the company.

 

Educational Events/Satellite Symposia are events that include presentations, speakers, equipment demonstrations, procedural instruction or focus groups. Only companies exhibiting at the AAOS meeting are eligible to present educational events/satellite symposia to AAOS attendees. Third party organizers must be designated by the exhibitor. These events may not conflict with AAOS scientific program. AAOS charges a non-refundable fee to exhibitors holding educational functions that includes access to AAOS attendees.

         $5,000 -- 1 to 3 events with a total attendance of 150 attendees or less per event

         $7,500 -- 1 to 3 events with a total attendance of 151 attendees or more per event

The fee includes:

  • Approval of up to three (3) events
  • Listings in the AAOS Exhibitor Guide, The Daily Edition of AAOS Now, and on the AAOS Annual Meeting web site

 

Receptions, dinners, and other events where there are no educational programming offered to attendees are considered social events. If a social event is held in conjunction with an educational event, the event would be considered an educational event. Social events may not conflict with the AAOS Scientific Program.

Hospitality suites are only available to companies that exhibit at the AAOS 2020 Annual Meeting. Request for hotel suites should be made through the AAOS Housing Bureau at the same time that sleeping room requests are made. Availability is based on hotel demand and current occupancy factors.
