On behalf of the American Thoracic Society (ATS), we invite
you to participate in the ATS 2018 International Conference
exhibition in San Diego. This is the preeminent conference
on pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine in the United
States. The ATS appreciates the significant contributions
made by exhibiting and supporting companies. As the
largest professionally attended pulmonary meeting in the
United States, and the first healthcare meeting to have
an independent-third-party audit of our registration data
performed, our goal is to make this conference an increasingly
productive and profitable experience for you.
We are committed to providing an environment that fosters
discussion of your product or service to the over 13,000
pulmonary, critical care, and sleep researchers and clinicians
who will attend ATS 2018. We strive to facilitate beneficial
interactions between attendees and exhibitors, as well as help
you achieve the greatest ROI for your company.
“ Well-oiled machine, great booth traffic , attendees actually seem interested in learning / getting more information at the exhibition.”
– Jennifer Terchek Resmed
