ASCP 2015 Annual Meeting & Exhibition GUIDELINES FOR ANCILLARY EVENTS In order to optimize the attendee experience, ASCP monitors events planned in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Meeting & Exhibition. ASCP has no desire to control your customer meetings; however, it is our goal to work in tandem with you to ensure that your ancillary events are fully accessible to attendees by avoiding any potential conflicts with ASCP official programming. In addition, by informing ASCP Staff about your ancillary events, we can serve as a resource for you by directing attendees to your function. Important Information on Scheduling an Ancillary Event Ancillary events may not conflict with any official ASCP events, educational sessions, or exhibition hours. Continuing education programs may not be offered at ASCP meetings outside of official ASCP programming. Any forum presenting continuing education credit must apply for an official ASCP Satellite Symposium time slot. To schedule an ancillary event, please complete and submit the “Ancillary Event Space Request Form” (page 2 of this document). Please submit the request form via email to Kartraice Hooper at [email protected] for approval.
