Benefits of Exhibiting at the Pacific Northwest Dermatological Conference

 Background

 The Pacific Northwest Dermatological conference (PNWD) is one of the longest established dermatological conferences in the U.S.  The 2007 conference will be the 74th. 

 Typically 100-125 delegates attend the conference.  A small Exhibition is put on as part of the conference to allow suppliers to the field of dermatology to exhibit their products.  The number of booths is limited to 30-34 depending upon the venue.  The conference is held in the summer at great locations to encourage delegates to bring their families and enjoy themselves as well as attend lectures for CME credits.  This all tends to create a relaxed and enjoyable conference for delegates and exhibitors.

 Exhibitor Benefits 

  • The PNWD annual scientific conference has established a reputation for putting on first class technical material that draws dermatologist from all over the USA.
  • The relatively small scale of the conference ensures that all exhibitors have the opportunity to interact one on one with the delegates.
  • All breakfasts and the one hour mid morning break are served in the Exhibit hall to draw delegates into the exhibits.
  • Delegates are encouraged to visit all booths to get a card signed for entry into a drawing for several prizes. The exhibition hall is adjacent to the lecture hall to make it easy for delegates to visit the exhibits at will.
  • Exhibitors have the opportunity to mingle with the delegates socially at two evening events and also have the opportunity to invite delegates to dinner or socialize with them in the afternoons.
  • Exhibitors may attend the lectures at no cost if they wish.
