INVITATION TO EXHIBIT

ABOUT THE SWSCThe Southwestern Surgical Congress is an organization of surgeons that fosters social and educational interaction between practicing general surgeons, surgical specialists and academicians through education, advocacy, the promotion of research and the introduction of innovative ideas and emerging technology with the ultimate goal of providing excellent patient care. Each year the annual meeting of the SWSC is carefully planned to provide state of the art and clinically relevant surgical education in an atmosphere of congenial and collegial social interaction.

Our membership mix of academicians, basic scientists, clinical investigators, specialists and practitioners is a well-balanced partnership serving as the foundation upon which the rich tradition of the SWSC has been built. As a part of that tradition the SWSC embraces the new generation of surgeons that will push the frontiers of excellence in surgical care in the years to come. This dedication can be seen in the large numbers of surgical residents presenting original work at the Annual Meeting and the special awards to those young surgeons who demonstrate superior work.

As a regional surgical society, the SWSC strives to enhance the practice of general surgery not only within our member states but for the specialty as a whole. The Congress actively advocates on behalf of the general surgeon at the American College of Surgeons with representation on the Board of Governors and the Advisory Council for Surgery. The SWSC is also represented on the American Board of Surgery and on the Editorial Advisory Board of the American Journal of Surgery.

WHY YOU NEED TO BE THEREAs a SWSC Exhibitor, you will have the opportunity to:

• Meet face to face with physicians involved in general surgical care

• Build further visibility for your company

• Expand your prospect base

• Strengthen existing customer relationships

• Target influential decision makers

• Generate new sales leads

• Network during Beverage Breaks, Breakfast, ePosters and Welcome Receptions that are held in the Exhibit Area

EDUCATIONAL GRANT AND MARKETING/EXHIBIT SUPPORTThe Southwestern Surgical Congress has a long history of quality academic research and welcomes your company’s support through meeting support or educational grants. If after reading the program you believe your company’s current mission aligns with the program presented, please contact Deborah East, Industry Relations Manager at [email protected]. Grants must comply with ACCME guidelines and ACS regulations. Together with industry, the Southwestern Surgical Congress invests in advances in patient care.

BENEFITS OF MEETING SUPPORTThe exhibitor showcase is a great place to network with attendees, but how do you stand out in the crowd? By sponsoring an educational session you draw attention to your company’s commitment to the SWSC mission. Your sponsorship will be highlighted on signage, in the program book, and on meeting title slides within the scientific session, as well as through recognition from the podium. Exhibitor passports will be given to each attendee upon their arrival, and there will be a drawing at the end of the meeting for a cash prize.
