Marketing Opportunities
Visit the Vendors!
AAPM is working to identify ways to increase traffic in the exhibit hall. With that goal in mind, AAPM has implemented a new exhibit hall traffic building program at the 2009 Annual Meeting.
All exhibitors were invited to participate but had to respond YES or NO by July 8th to be included. If an exhibitor did not respond, that company was not included.
Here’s how it works:
- Attendees will have the opportunity to win one of four free registrations for the 2010 AAPM Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
- We produced VISIT THE VENDORS cards listing an equal number of exhibitor company names and their booth numbers on punch cards. The number of unique cards generated depends on the number of exhibitors who agreed to participate.
- Exhibitors are listed on the cards based on the information provided on their original space application in regards to associate and competitor proximity requests.
- A VISIT THE VENDORS card will be given to each scientific meeting registrant at Registration when individuals pick up their meeting materials.
- Attendees are instructed to VISIT THE VENDORS listed on their specific card.
- Participating exhibitors will be given a hole puncher in order to punch their company name on an attendee’s card.
- It is up to you to determine how much time the attendee must spend at your booth in order to have their card punched.
- The objective is for the attendees to VISIT THE VENDORS listed on their card AND acquire a hole punch.
- A card must be complete in order to be eligible for the drawing.
- Once a card is complete, the attendee will drop it in a box located at the main entrance of the Exhibit hall C.
- The drawing and prize announcements are scheduled for Wednesday July 29, during lunch time at 12:30 PM in the Exhibit Hall C – winners do not have to be present to win.
Advertising
All Exhibitors are invited to advertise in Medical Physics, the scientific journal of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. Medical Physics will be distributed to all AAPM attendees during registration. Information on rates, mechanical specifications and copy deadlines may be obtained from:

AAPM Virtual Press Room
AAPM has implemented a Virtual Press Room for the 2009 Meeting. The Virtual Press Room will consist of both Scientific and Exhibitor related press releases.
Any Exhibitor wishing to link to a single or multiple press releases is asked to post the press release(s) on the internet, thus creating a URL address. Then forward the press release URL address and the date of the press release to the attention of:
Karen MacFarland
karen@aapm.org
(301) 209-3382
All contributing companies will be listed on the Virtual Press Room/Exhibitor Releases site. A link will be created from the Press Room site/company name back to the URL address of the press release.
AAPM Exhibitor Virtual Press Room Guidelines:
- Only companies officially exhibiting at AAPM '09 may submit materials for the Exhibitor Virtual Pressroom.
- There is no endorsement implied by AAPM.
- Releases will be listed in alpha order by company name.
- Press releases submitted for the Exhibitor Virtual Press Room by July 18 will be printed and provided in press kits available on-site to all registered press.
We hope to attract more press personnel to our meeting so encourage you to post your releases.
