Exhibits of Products and Services

The technical exhibit hall at the2006 AANS Annual Meeting accomodates physicians’ hectic schedules by providing a convenient, one-stopshopping venue where they can visit displays of cutting-edge technology in the field of neurological surgery.

This year, more than 200 companies, filling more than 700 booths, will be on hand to showcase their products and services, many of them newly released and many more tried and true, and all valuable to the life of a neurosurgical practice. Booths will be conveniently located on the lower level of Moscone South Convention Center, in Exhibit Halls A-C, directly across from the Plenary Sessions.

Vendor participation in the exhibit hall provides attendees an opportunity to view, discuss, evaluate and "try-on" the most current tools and devices in the industry. Personnel are available at a moment’s notice to answer questions, provide specifications, and conduct demonstrations to address specific requirements and needs.

Whatever your position in the industry; neurosurgeon, neurosurgical resident, or neurosurgical nurse, the 2006 AANS Annual Meeting is the best place to bring your questions and concerns regarding equipment, tools, products or services!
