Hospitality Events/
Focus Groups

AANA permits exhibitors to hold hospitality events and focus groups.

Because of the scheduling of AANA educational sessions and official functions, no hospitality events or focus groups will be permitted between the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Saturday through Wednesday, or on Monday evening.

All activities on-site or off-site involving participants of the AANA Annual Meeting must be approved in advance. Requests for the Programs are to be submitted in writing by January 8, 2010. All other requests are to be submitted in writing by April 23, 2010, accompanied by a brief description of the event to:

The company will also be restricted from attending and exhibiting at future AANA meetings.
