Dear Exhibitor:
The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) invites you to exhibit at our next meeting, the ISHLT

The ISHLT membership is comprised of over 3000 members from over 45 countries, representing more than 15 different
disciplines involved in the management and treatment of end-stage heart and lung disease, including mechanical circulatory
support, pulmonary hypertension and infectious diseases. Our members are consumers of a wide variety of medical and
pharmaceutical supplies, devices and services. Our meeting offers exhibitors direct contact with medical professionals who
make or heavily influence decisions regarding the purchase of products and services provided by businesses such as yours.
The ISHLT meeting will feature the latest research results through Featured Abstracts, Satellite Symposia, Concurrent
Abstract Sessions, Poster Sessions and Invited Lectures presented by scientific leaders. Exhibits will be open Wednesday April
15, Thursday April 16, and Friday April 17.
We are expecting approximately 3000 delegates in Nice, so please don’t miss the chance to market to this
valuable group. Initial assignment of space will be made on January 15. Please send in your exhibitor
