Monthly Meeting Sponsor & Exhibitor Information

Seven educational conferences are scheduled during the next academic year by the CDS.  (In addition, the Illinois Dermatological Society has an annual practice management workshop in January.)  We are happy to be in a position to offer exhibit and corporate sponsorship opportunities for these events.

The average physician attendance at the meetings is about 200-225, including approximately 50 dermatology residents. We believe this provides a great corporate opportunity, not only for recognition of your support, but more importantly, one-on-one interaction with CDS members during the pre-meeting period, breaks and especially during lunch.

Companies interested in having an exhibit at a CDS monthly conference are welcome.  We offer a tabletop exhibit, as well as other sponsorship opportunities.  Please note that depending on the location of the meeting, exhibit space may be limited.
