1 Sponsorship and Exhibitor Opportunities

2 Why Support AAPL? The AAPL Annual Conference is an energized environment consisting of expert lectures, high quality small group breakouts, innovations in liaison-driven marketing, and invaluable professional development learning opportunities. This is your opportunity to be recognized as an industry leader and increase the visibility of your products and services to this exclusive audience of physician liaison leaders from around the country. Introduce yourself to new clients and discover untapped business contacts among our 250 physician liaisons, business development leaders, and physician relations experts. AAPL serves over 650 members employed at academic medical centers, community hospitals, stand-alone tertiary care facilities, children's hospitals, and other health-related systems and businesses. Network during exhibit hours at your booth, but also show your badge to gain access to insightful lectures and presentations, inclusive meal events and receptions, as well as private time one-on-one with clients in a relaxing, informal atmosphere. Personalize your opportunities to engage with our audience through various sponsorship levels offered to those companies supporting AAPL through exclusive sponsorships, plenary or breakout presentations, branded items, raffles, and ongoing partnership offerings throughout the year aligned with webinars, regional meetings, newsletter articles, and social media conversations. How Will AAPL Enhance Visibility of our Sponsors and Exhibitors? You will receive direct access to all AAPL Conference attendees through pre- and post-attendance mailing lists starting about four weeks prior to the conference. All refreshment breaks will be served in the exhibit areas. A visit the exhibits engagement activity will be conducted, improving the traffic toward each vendor booth. We will encourage our attendees to make one-on-one appointments with you to discuss business in our exclusive Liaison Link Lounge, a quiet and relaxed area available just for exhibitors to host appointments for potential clients and make more in depth business connections. The Liason Link Lounge will include refreshments, Wi-Fi, casual seating, and individual meeting areas, making it an ideal location for more detailed product and service discussions.
