SOLD OUT - The 2016 AASV Technical Tables Exhibit is full.

Please contact AASV to be placed on a waiting list in case of cancellations, and/or to receive information about next year's meeting in Denver.

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 2016 AASV Annual Meeting will be held February 27 - March 1 at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana, with the exhibit taking place on Monday and Tuesday, February 29 and March 1. We expect approximately 1000 attendees, including 600+ swine veterinarians and more than 100 veterinary students. Typically, 20-25% of AASV meeting attendees are 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 Technical Table representatives.

More than 80 companies participate in the AASV Technical Tables display each year. These include pharmaceutical and biological companies, equipment manufacturers, genetics and seedstock suppliers, nutritional and feed ingredient companies, technology systems providers, and industry publications. Recent exhibitors are listed here.

The 2016 Technical Tables exhibit will take place according to the following schedule:

  • Receive table assignments/Set up
    • Monday, February 29     7:00 am - 9:00 am
  • Technical Tables exhibit open
    • Monday, February 29     9:00 am - 5:00 pm
    • Tuesday, March 1     8:00 am - 1:00 pm

Each participating company is provided with a 6-foot, draped table from which to distribute information and visit with the meeting registrants. As in the past, material presented on the table is limited to scientific, educational information that will best inform practitioners about each company's products and services. Booths, overhead or vertical banners, and tabletop displays are not permitted, nor is selling of product from the tables. We feel 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.

SERVICES
Given the low-key nature of the exhibit, most exhibitors do NOT require electricity or Internet service, and they are not provided. Should you require the use of electricity or Internet service, you will need to contract directly with Freeman (electrical) and PSAV (Internet) to arrange for service at your table.

SHIPPING
All materials for the exhibit must be carried on-site or shipped through FREEMAN. Do NOT ship materials to the Hyatt Regency. To avoid late charges, ship materials with the appropriate forms to arrive by February 22 at Freeman's WAREHOUSE SHIPPING ADDRESS:
