ACOEP Presents
SCIENTIFIC ASSEMBLY
‘14
OCTOBER
12-15, 2014
CAESARS PALACE
LAS VEGAS, NV
35th Anniversary of ACOEP’s
Scientific Assembly
Introduction
Dear Exhibitor,
Change and success go hand-in-hand. Through the years
ACOEP has grown and developed, adapting to the times,
responding to member input, and evolving. It is this spirit
of growth that inspired the name Emerge to be given to
our Spring and Fall conferences—a name embracing a
period of change, evolution, and maturation.
The journey of emergence has brought us to a precipice
in emergency medicine, a place of unforeseen challenges
and incredible opportunities. It’s this unique point that
inspires the new branding of all ACOEP conferences
under one bold heading: The Edge. This is more than a
name change and a new logo, The Edge is the inspiration
and the foundation upon which our educational
opportunities will be based.
We give our members an edge to overcome new challenges; embrace the cutting edge of new
technologies, opportunities and advancement; and journey together to the edge, generating
creative thoughts, solutions and lasting advancement.
With this concept as our cornerstone, we have also redeveloped our entire exhibiting and
sponsorship process to give you a more comprehensive experience, adding more value to
your sponsorship dollars and keeping your company in the forefront of our members’ minds
throughout the entire year, not merely at conferences.
Please take a moment to review our new offerings and do not hesitate to contact our office with
any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you!
Best,
Janice Wachtler, BAE, CBA
Executive Director
American College of Osteopathic Emergency Physicians
