Why Should You Exhibit At ASH?

Our annual meeting is the premier event in the hematology industry, attracting more than 16,000 hematologists and other health-care professionals from every U.S. state and nearly 100 other countries.

As an ASH exhibitor, you will have the opportunity to:

• Target influential decision makers
• Interact face-to-face with hematology professionals from all over the world
• Build visibility for your company in a competitive marketplace
• Expand your prospect base and strengthen existing customer relationships
• Introduce new products and services
• Generate new sales leads
• Give product demonstrations
• Conduct market research

Exhibit space is initially assigned using a priority point system for those companies and organizations that have exhibited at our annual meeting or supported ASH in other ways during the last three years. After the priority point deadline of June 30, space will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reserve your booth space early to take advantage of this profitable marketing opportunity.
