Exhibitor Personnel Registration Information
On-Line Personnel Registration
The Exhibitor Personnel Registration system is now open. Exhibitors are allotted Complimentary Personnel Registrations based on booth size. Exhibitors may purchase additional Full Registrations or Technical Exhibits Only Registrations as necessary.
Please note: If you would like to have your personnel badges mailed to you prior to the start of the meeting, your registrations and payment must be complete by JUNE 19. After June 19, you may still register your personnel but the badges WILL NOT be mailed – you will have to pick them up on-site. NO REFUNDS for Exhibitor Personnel Registration cancellations after June 19, 2009.
For registrations received by JUNE 19 - the Exhibitor Contact will be mailed a company packet via UPS containing personalized envelopes for ALL exhibitor personnel. The personalized envelopes will contain the name badge, badge holder, and social function tickets.
IMPORTANT: In order to make personnel registration changes on site, a badge MUST BE EXCHANGED for the new badge generated or FULL PAYMENT will be required.
Self Assessment Modules (SAMS)
Compilation of two Self Assessment Modules (SAMS) per year is a requirement for the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) process as defined by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). AAPM program organizers have identified sessions in Diagnostic, Nuclear Medicine and Therapy Physics to be offered with audience response technology at the annual meeting in 2009.
Number of SAMs sessions:
- Imaging - 4
- Therapy - 4
- Professional - 1
1) These sessions will allow those who require MOC to fulfill their SAMs requirements.
2) Credits for these sessions are available only to attendees who pre-register for the modules.
3) No SAMs registration will be offered on-site in California.
4) SAMS are available to Exhibitor Weekly (complimentary & paid) - not Hall Only.
5) $10 fee for this item.
Please note that SAMs sessions are open to everyone, but only those pre-registered for the audience response technology will be eligible to receive an interactive response unit. Questions will be asked during the SAMs sessions, and participants must answer electronically in order to receive certification There is no pass/fail. The idea is to assess knowledge gained during the session.
Please call 508-743-0124 to add SAMS to an Exhibitor registration.
