submit applications early in the process.

How many attendees can I expect at my presentation?
Attendees are driven to attend a presentation based on topic & speaker. The attendees should be well informed on the presentation to gain attendee interest.
Can I select the speaker for the presentation?
Yes, the presenting company is responsible for selecting their speakers and all arrangements associated with the presentation. NOTE: AAP National Conference faculty and/or Section/Council Executive Committee members are not permitted to present for a product theater.
Can we provide food & beverage?
Yes! In fact, we suggest it. We also suggest you promote that you will be serving food & beverage. Most companies will order boxed lunches. Presenting companies can order directly with the center caterer and will be responsible for the ordering, payment and onsite facilitation of distribution.
How do we have the food & beverage delivered to the theater?
Ask the caterer to have your food & beverages rolled into the product theater immediately prior to your presentation. The theaters are built to accommodate (2) 6 foot tables for the food & beverage.
What can I expect with lead retrieval?
The AAP will provide (2) lead retrieval scanners. NOTE: it is the presenting companies responsibility to capture leads. Leads will be emailed to contact provided onsite.
Do I need to have specific verbiage on our marketing pieces?
All marketing & promotional pieces for the product theater(s) must include the following text: The presentation for this Product Theater is not designated for CME credit. This presentation is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
**NOTE: The AAP is not able to directly provide attendee contact information. **
