DOs and Allied Health Professionals also attend the meeting to stay ahead of the curve in the field of orthopaedics. The COS provides continuing medical education to those individuals who are on the forefront of both scientific and socioeconomic orthopaedic causes. Why Choose COS To Exhibit?Understanding the importance of our exhibit partners, COS strives to make sure your exhibiting funds afford you plenty of face-time with our attendees. We believe these connections are as valuable to our attendees as they are to you. Exhibiting with the COS provides you the benefit of the following: Concierge Personalized Onsite AssistanceUnique to all orthopaedic meetings, Clinical Orthopaedic Society (COS) actually brings doctors to you. If you would like to connect with a specific doctor or a particular institution, let us know and we will find them and introduce you to them. The COS strives to make your exhibiting experience the best business investment possible. We appreciate your involvement and look forward to partnering with you for many years to come. To ensure a positive experience and productive meeting, we have a dedicated COS Onsite Coordinator available to assist you with locating doctors and making exhibit arrangements. Dedicated Time With The AttendeesAll breakfasts and lunches are served in the exhibit hall. We arrange the exhibit hall so that food and beverages are strategically placed to maximize traffic for everyone. Additionally, we have the President's Welcome Reception, a two-hour social event with drinks and heavy hors d'ouevres in the exhibit hall. This event is well attended and usually exceeds the time scheduled because of the positive experience. It's a great setting to develop relationships with the doctors. We have several breaks each day and give out prizes valued at approximately $200 per day in the exhibit hall. Doctors are required to have a card stamped by numerous exhibitors in order to be eligible for the prize. We find that in addition to the general interest in your products and services, the prize is a great incentive to drive traffic to you. Pre-Meeting Attendee Mailing ListExhibitors will receive a complimentary pre-registered attendee mailing list when it becomes available before the meeting. You can use the list to promote your products/services in advance and potentially boost traffic at your booth. Post-Meeting Attendee Mailing ListTo assist you in your post-meeting marketing efforts, the COS will supply, upon request, a FINAL list of registrants which will allow you to conduct follow-up correspondence with registrants via mail.
