Exhibitor Prospectus2012 APS Annual Meeting
August 4–8, 2012 • Providence, Rhode Island
The American Phytopathological Society
Communicating Science • With Each Other and the World
The American Phytopathological Society (APS) invites you to the 2012 APS Annual Meeting in Providence, Rhode Island, focusing on communicating our science and sharing the importance of plant pathology with each other and the world. APS is an international scientific organization devoted to the study of plant diseases and their control. APS members conduct important fundamental research that ultimately leads to the development of new products, equipment, methods, and services. They also work directly with the growers on the front lines of plant health management. Their work in research and applied plant pathology influences the success of your products and services. An exhibition of the latest products and services that advance their work is critical to our attendees.
The exhibition helps suppliers make valuable, one-on-one connections with the top scientists in our field, showcases advances in research and technology, and offers solutions for equipment services and needs. An ad in a magazine or a flyer in the mail will tell our members much about your products, but nothing compares to real conversation and genuine, authentic relationship-building.

Liability: Although security personnel are appointed, neither APS, the Facility, nor the decorator or their agents assume responsibility for any loss or damage to booths, equipment, or personal belongings on-site. By acceptance of the contract, Exhibitor releases APS from any and all liability.
Hold Harmless: The exhibitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless APS, their management, partners, owners, agents, or employees from any and all claims, liabilities, and losses; for injury to persons (including death); or damage and/or loss to property arising in connection with exhibit space and rental.

Each company that purchases an exhibit is entitled to complimentary registration (number determined by exhibit size/type); additional registrations must be purchased.
