Exhibiting

We invite your participation as an exhibitor at the ASBMR 30th Annual Meeting in Montréal, Quebéc, Canada, September 12-16, 2008.  Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to showcase your company’s products and services. This past September, ASBMR’s 29th Annual Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, brought over 4,800 attendees together from over 66 countries. The session rooms and social events were packed.  Moreover, 89% of our respondents reported visiting the Exhibit Hall, and approximately 60% of those noted they are purchasing decision-makers. The 2008 ASBMR 30th Annual Meeting will be no exception and will continue to be an outstanding venue for reaching the bone and mineral scientific community.
