Monthly Meeting Corporate Sponsor & Exhibitor Information

Seven educational conferences are scheduled each year, and and in January 2011 we're also holding a coding seminar for doctors and staff.  We are happy to be in a position to offer exhibit and corporate sponsorship opportunities for most of these events. The average physician attendance at th meetings is about 200, including approximately 50 dermatology residents. We believe this provides a great corporate opportunity, not only for recognition of your support, but also one-on-one interaction with CDS members during the pre-meeting period and especially the lunch break.

Companies interested in having an exhibit at a CDS monthly conference are welcome.  We offer a tabletop exhibit, as well as other sponsorship opportunities.  Please note that depending on the location of the m eeting, exhibit space may be limited.
