EVALUATION FORM REWARDS PROGRAM
The Annual Meeting evaluation process is a
key component in providing cutting-edge
programming at the AANS Annual
Meeting. AANS values medical participant
feedback on the quality and diversity of its
educational sessions. Your opinion helps
determine future Annual Meeting programming.
Evaluations will be collected on
a daily basis at the convention center. To
become eligible to win one of the allocated
prizes, simply complete your evaluation
form(s) from any of the practical clinics,
breakfast seminars and scientific sessions
you attend. Be sure to include your name
and ID number found on your badge and
drop your completed form(s) in designated
Evaluation Drop Boxes located throughout
the convention center or in the AANS
Resource Center, booth #1120 in the
exhibit hall. The more evaluations you
complete, the better your chance to win!
Practical clinics and breakfast seminar
forms will be handed out in each session.
The daily Scientific Program evaluations
will be located in the Program Guide.
Beginning Saturday, April 26th and
concluding on Thursday, May 1st, the
Evaluation Drop Boxes will be emptied
daily and five lucky medical registrant prize
winners will be drawn.
Prize certificates can be picked up in the
AANS Resource Center, booth #1120 in
the exhibit hall Monday thru Wednesday
from 9:30 AM-3:30 PM. Thursday's
drawing winners will be notified via e-mail.
If you do not collect your certificate in
Chicago, IL, it will be mailed to you after
the meeting.
