Meetings are selected for exhibit attendance at least 6-12 months in advance.
[A comprehensive listing of potential
organizations
is available elsewhere on this site.] Generally, NCI sponsors exhibits at
national meetings of the following organizations each year:
- American Association of Cancer Research (AACR)
- American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)
- Oncology Nursing Society (ONS)
- American Society for Therapeutics Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO)
- American Public Health Association (APHA)
- American Society of Hematology (ASH)
The remaining schedule is made up from recommendations from NCI staff.
The criteria for selection include general NCI interest and relevance,
current Institute priorities, logistical and geographic demands, and
fiscal and staffing considerations. We encourage active participation
in the selection process for national meetings by sending your
suggestions to the Exhibit Program Manager by using the
Feedback section of this site.
These exhibits may feature NCI experts who will be asked to be at the
booth during certain periods to promote and answer questions about
their specific programs. Exhibits may also feature demonstrations of
online products and resources. If you would be interested in
participating as an expert or by giving a demonstration, contact the
Exhibit Program Manager by using the Feedback
section of this site. To assist you in planning your participation, please review the National Program Exhibit Timeline.
For the national meetings, exhibit program is responsible for purchasing
booth space, selecting the booth and graphics, ordering show services,
set-up and dismantling booth; material selection and shipping, shipping
booth to and from meeting; and scheduling staff, experts and demos.
