The Summit gives you quality exposure to over 300 attendees with ample opportunities for one-on-one time with your current and potential customers. The size of the meeting is conducive to meaningful, in-depth conversations that you won’t get in an overcrowded, competitive exhibit hall. This is an outstanding way to reach the decision-makers from academic teaching centers, medical schools, hospitals, and healthcare delivery systems who purchase your products and services.
Take advantage of this opportunity to interact with a broad representation of surgeons, physicians, educators, simulation center directors, administrators, techs, and more from the U.S. and abroad who are passionate about educating learners, enhancing patient safety, and advancing the field of simulation-based surgical education. Attendees view the exhibits as an extension of their continuing education program and are looking to you to learn about the latest advances and trends in surgical simulation.
