We are happy to announce the dates of TRAUMA, CRITICAL CARE & ACUTE CARE SURGERY 2008. This meeting has developed into the largest trauma postgraduate course in the country. The conference has been oversubscribed for the past three years. Our maximum capacity is 1275, and in 2007, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and 18 foreign countries were represented. Unfortunately, space limitations prevented us from accepting over 300 additional registrants.
The two and one-half day intense and fast-paced program is designed for trauma surgeons working in Level I-IV trauma centers and is attended by general surgeons, anesthesiologists, emergency medicine physicians, family practitioners, trauma coordinators, surgical residents, thoracic surgeons, trauma nurses, physician assistants, administrators, and EMS coordinators who find this fast paced, clinically orientated program of great assistance in the practical care of trauma patients.
The exhibitors at this conference are a key portion of the educational opportunities afforded the participants, and, as such, participants are encouraged to take full advantage of the ready availability of information and new technology that only you can provide. The number of exhibitors is limited to 34 booths to assure ample space for visiting exhibits and enjoying breaks and breakfasts in the Exhibit Hall. The fact that the majority of our exhibitors return from year to year clearly indicates they consider the conference as valuable to them as we do their contributions.
The 2008 meeting continues our tradition of outstanding speakers and timely topics in the field of trauma. To reserve your place, mail or fax the Exhibitor Application and Contract form NOW!
We are looking forward to a great meeting and a great time in Vegas in March, and hope you will plan now to join us.
The venue for the meeting is the Palace Convention Complex at Caesars Palace. The beautiful and serviceable convention space is conveniently located on the third and fourth levels of the Palace Tower. Our room block has sold out very early each year, so please book hotel rooms EARLY by clicking on the above link or visiting the Hotel Reservations page of our web site.
Booth cost is $2000.00 (NON-REFUNDABLE) if application AND payment is received by December 31, 2007. After December 31, 2007, booth cost is $2500.00.
For greater exposure and interaction with our over 1200 participants, consider expanded participation at the 2008 meeting. In response to several requests from those of you who have exhibited at the Las Vegas Trauma Conference almost every year since it began, we are providing information on ways to have increased participation and added visibility for your company and products.
Sponsorship of various conference activities through unrestricted educational grants is probably the best avenue to greater participation and visibility.
- Tote Bags
- Lanyards
- Computer/email retrieval Kiosks
- Ice Cream/Candy Bars at Breaks
- Faculty Reception on Sunday evening
- Faculty Dinner on Monday evening
- Cocktail Reception for faculty, attendees and exhibitors on Tuesday evening
- Breakfast scientific sessions on Tuesday & Wednesday
- Luncheon scientific session, Monday
- Luncheon scientific session on Tuesday
Sponsorship of any of these activities or items would include recognition at the time of the event, and a half or full-page listing of your company (with logo when provided) in syllabus, depending on level of sponsorship. If you wish to propose other areas of sponsorship, contact Mary Allen NOW to discuss. These areas of expanded participation must be addressed early to achieve appropriate exposure for the sponsor and to assure availability.
If you are interested in sponsoring a separate CME program when the conference is not in session, contact Mary Allen immediately. The schedule is extremely tight already, and prior planning of such types of events is essential to assure good participation. These events have been a great success for the past two years, with sold out attendance. Currently, we have availability for three simultaneous luncheon programs on Monday, March 25.
If we can provide additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
