Monthly Meeting Sponsor & Exhibitor Information

Updated 8/23/2022

The average physician attendance at the CDS meetings is about 200, 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 conference are welcome.  We offer a tabletop exhibit.  Please note that depending on the location of the meeting, exhibit space may be limited.

• Generic program for most meetings

• Important Exhibitor Note
• By participating in any of the CDS conferences, the Exhibitor and the Chicago Dermatological Society understand and agree that CDS policy does not allow the conference to accept any advice or services from the Exhibitor concerning speakers, authors, participants, program content or other CME matters as conditions of the exhibit fee, exhibit placement and/or sponsorship selection. In addition, both parties fully understand that this agreement, and therefore the conference is free from commercial bias or control due to the separation of the designated exhibitor area and related activities from the CME planners, authors, speakers and CME sessions.  By submitting this form and the associated exhibit fee, it is expressly understood that the company is purchasing an exhibit space only and is not purchasing any meals or providing any other remuneration to physicians.
