Exhibitor Registration

Representatives of exhibiting companies are registered in advance for the Joint Meeting and Subspecialty Day by an individual from their company appointed to handle the details of the company’s participation in the exhibition. Do not use the Academy’s Web site or Preregistration & Ticket Order Form to register exhibitor representatives— these methods of registration are for physicians and healthcare professionals only. A link to the Exhibitor Registration Web site will be sent to exhibiting companies in August.
Exhibitors may purchase Joint Meeting instruction course tickets onsite only.
Individuals from industry, including representatives of exhibiting companies, may register for the 2008 Subspecialty Day Program of their choice using the Commercial Representative registration category, and may use the Academy’s Web site or the Preregistration order form.
The Allied Health and Other Medical Professionals categories are not to be used by commercial registrants for the Joint Meeting or Subspecialty Day. These categories are designated only for those working in ophthalmic practice or academia.

Corporate Representatives

A Corporate Representative registration category has been added to provide the opportunity for a corporate representative with a legitimate business or educational reason, but whose company does not have a product or service to exhibit, to attend the Joint Meeting.
Contact exhibitions@aao.org for additional information. Do not register on the Academy’s Web site or use the forms in the Advance Program— those methods of registration are for physicians and health professionals only.
