The great things about sponsorships:

• Increase your brand recognition with your company's logo placed in Annual Meeting publications, signs, and banners – before, during and after the meeting!
• Reduce your marketing costs with complimentary marketing tools!

Link your company to the world's top gathering of pharmaceutical scientists and open networking opportunities with top executives in the industry with sponsorships of scientific programming or service components of the AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition. Our sponsorship rate structure offers you an array of programs beginning from $3,000. Depending on the level of your investment, your company will be promoted in a variety of convention media.

Sponsorship levels available:

The sponsorship benefits are determined by the tier of sponsorship. The tiers range from the Bronze level (up to $4,999) up to the Diamond level ($15,000 and up). Individual sponsorships can be combined to reach a higher tier of benefits, i.e. Shuttle bus route plus a Sunrise Session time period sponsorship qualifies for Diamond Level sponsorship level.
