Interested in Exhibiting at Care of the Athletic Heart?
Connect with key leaders in the CV community by exhibiting at Care of the Athletic Heart: From Elite to Exercise Enthusiasts course, taking place June 12 – 14 at Heart House in Washington, DC.
There are an estimated 5 million active athletes at the high school, collegiate, professional, and master's levels in the United States. Recently polled cardiologists indicated they see five patient athletes per week on average. As the athletic population continues to expand in all major demographic groups, a larger contingent of practice-ready clinicians who understand the contemporary care and practice management strategies for athletes is needed.
The ACC expects over 100 attendees this year and exhibits are an important part of this course, providing our registrants the opportunity to gather useful information about products and services related to their interests and responsibilities.
Please access the Exhibitor Prospectus for further information and participation options. We look forward to working with you!
