The 2009 AAOMPT Annual Conference is the national conference where persons having a common interest in orthopaedic manual physical therapy (OMPT) may meet, confer and promote research, practice, and patient care.
Be a part of this important conference by taking advantage of the numerous opportunities to showcase your company to the leaders in OMPT today.
Exhibit Opportunities
Exhibiting your company’s products and services at this important event will give you the visibility to participate in this gathering with OMPT physical therapists, fellows and researchers, the majority of whom are also AAOMPT members. The Conference offers OMPT physical therapy practitioners information and resources to advance their skill level and increase proficiency in practice and patient care. As an exhibitor, you have an unmatched opportunity to help them achieve success in OMPT by showcasing the latest information, research, products and resources available.
There are abundant opportunities for meeting and informal networking with conference attendees:

- The poster presentations will be held within the exhibit area on Friday evening during a wine and cheese reception giving attendees, presenters and exhibitors a chance to interact, exchange information and network all in one location.
- Coffee breaks for all attendees available in the exhibit area are designed to draw participants in and keep them circulating.
- One full conference registration available with each standard price booth area will allow you to attend conference sessions and functions to interact with attendees outside of the exhibit area and gain information on OMPT and how your product or service can be of benefit to the physical therapists, researchers and fellows in the OMPT community.
