AASV Technical Tables Exhibit

February 28-March 1, 2022
JW Marriott Indianapolis
Indianapolis, Indiana

The "Tech Tables" technical service promotion at the American Association of Swine Veterinarians Annual Meeting offers a premier opportunity for commercial technical representatives to exchange information and interact with swine veterinarians from around the world.

The 2022 AASV Annual Meeting will be held February 26 - March 1 at the JW Marriott Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana, with the exhibit taking place on Monday and Tuesday, February 28 and March 1. We expect approximately 1000 participants, including more than 600 swine veterinarians and 100+ veterinary students. In the past, 20-25% of attendees have been from outside the United States, with registrants from as many as 30 countries. The primary function of the meeting is to provide continuing education to swine veterinarians.

Non-veterinary attendance is limited to AASV Affiliate Members, veterinary students, invited speakers, and up to six Technical Table representatives per table, as described below.

Exhibitors typically include pharmaceutical and biological companies, equipment manufacturers, genetics and seedstock suppliers, nutritional and feed ingredient companies, technology systems providers, and industry publications.

The 2022 Technical Tables exhibit will take place according to the following schedule:AASV Tech Tables exhibit showing tables, exhibit representatives, and attendees.

DESCRIPTION
Each participating company is provided with a 6-foot, draped table from which to distribute information and visit with the meeting attendees. As in the past, material presented on the table is limited to scientific, educational information that will best inform swine veterinarians about each company's products and services. Exhibitors are welcome to use their own table drape. Overhead or vertical banners, booth and tabletop displays, and large monitors are not permitted, nor is selling of product. Items on the table should be no more than 18" high. This modest approach to the commercial trade show provides a level playing field for all participants and allows the event to concentrate on education and information, in keeping with the nature of the meeting.

REGISTRATION
The Tech Table registration fee of $2500 per table includes the draped table and chairs, plus conference registration for up to 3 company representatives named on the application. Registration was due by October 1 to ensure eligibility for the Industrial Partners sessions, which quickly filled. Exhibiting companies will be listed and linked on the AASV Annual Meeting website, and will be invited to supply a company logo and description for the mobile conference app.

LODGING
The AASV room block is now open; see here for details. Don't fall prey to the scam artists who call or email your company with an urgent offer to book rooms for the meeting. The AASV and the JW Marriott do NOT utilize 3rd party booking services.

TABLE ASSIGNMENTS
Preferential table sites are assigned to AASV e-Letter sponsors and members of the JSHAP Industry Support Council. A drawing is conducted to assign the remaining tables on an equitable basis.

REPRESENTATIVE REGISTRATIONS
The 3 Tech Table registrants listed on the exhibit registration form are welcome to attend any of the scientific sessions beginning Sunday noon through Tuesday, and will receive tickets for Monday's luncheon and evening awards reception and Tuesday's breakfast. In addition, Technical Table representatives may register for the pre-conference seminars on Saturday and Sunday by paying the seminar registration fee(s).

In addition to the three representatives included on the exhibit application, up to three more representatives may also register for the meeting as "Additional Tech Table Representatives" ($560 each). Any additional representatives beyond these six total are eligible to register ONLY if they meet the usual attendance criteria (i.e., must be a veterinarian, veterinary student, AASV Affiliate Member, or invited speaker).

The name badges and meal tickets for your representatives will be available for pickup (under their individual names) at the AASV registration desk in the conference hotel.

SHIPPING
Ship exhibit materials through Excel Decorators. A representative from Excel Decorators will contact each company to provide shipping details. Do not ship exhibit materials to the JW Marriott hotel.

SERVICES
Given the low-key nature of the exhibit, most exhibitors do NOT require electricity or dedicated Internet service, and these services are not included in the exhibit fee. The JW Marriott provides basic Wifi in the exhibit hall. To order electricity or dedicated Internet for your exhibit table, submit your request at https://markeys.formstack.com/forms/indyplace.

REFUND POLICY
AASV will refund payment in full if a written request for cancellation is received by January 7, 2022. Cancellations made after this date will result in forfeiture of payment unless the space is purchased by an unconfirmed applicant. Cancellations will not be accepted or refunds issued to companies scheduled to participate in the Industrial Partners oral or poster sessions.

ATTENDEE LIST
AASV Board policy does not allow the release of AASV attendee names or their contact information. In the past few years, many of our exhibitors have received unsolicited offers to purchase a list of AASV Annual Meeting attendees. These offers are scams; no such list is available.
