Vendors Response Top 5 Reasons we like to exhibit

at the Ohio Society of Respiratory Care meeting:

1) Opportunity to meet with Key Decision Makers outside of the hospital.

2) Opportunity to meet with future Key Decision Makers just starting

their careers as respiratory therapists. 3) Great location- the Hilton at Easton has

wonderful restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. 4) Beautiful hotel and amenities- luxurious

hotel and the staff is very courteous. 5) Easy set up as a vendor.
