Exhibitor-Hosted Programs 

  • Exhibitor-Hosted Programs (EHPs) are commercially supported talking tox, educational sessions held in conjunction with other Scientific Sessions and events during the ACT Annual Meeting.
     
  • Each Exhibitor-Hosted Program, lasting 55 minutes, adopts a theater-style format in a room at the JW Marriott Hotel, accommodating approximately 50 attendees. The sessions are accessible to all ACT Annual Meeting Attendees.
     
  • Applications for hosting EHPs are reviewed on a rolling basis by the ACT Education and Program Committee, with the submission deadline set for July 14, 2024, or until all available timeslots are filled.
  • Exhibiting organizations and Platinum Level Annual Meeting Supports are eligible to host an EHP.

Application Information

The content presented in the EHP must be well-balanced, grounded in sound scientific principles, and offer attendees an objective perspective. Evaluation of EHP proposals will focus on their capacity to deliver educational content distinct from the official ACT Annual Meeting program, and ACT cannot guarantee avoidance of overlap with other Exhibitor-Hosted Programs. Approval of applications rests with the chairs of the ACT Education and Program Committee, and room assignments will follow the order of application receipt.

There is no application fee. Host organizations selected to present an Exhibitor-Hosted Program will be assessed $1,500 for each approved session and are limited to one session per exhibitor. Completed applications are approved and rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, with a deadline for application set on July 14, 2024. If spots remain available after this date, exhibiting organizations and previously approved Platinum Annual Meeting Supporters may request an additional session.
