PRODUCT THEATERS
Product Theaters provide an opportunity for commercial organizations to present information to PENS Conference Attendees about their product or services or therapeutic areas in relation to endocrine/diabetes. The material presented in Product Theaters may be promotional and may concentrate on a specific product. Therefore, these sessions are considered promotional and may not offer continuing nursing education credit. The fee to conduct a Product Theater is $2,500 (per 20 minute program includes set up time) for exhibitors. Only exhibitors may participate in the program. With the purchase of a product theater your company will now be recognized as a sponsor. For more information please click here.
Please note - you must submit the application AND the support agreement form when applying for a product theater time slot. Applications without both documents will not be confirmed until both documents are received.ELIGIBILITYOrganizations are required to be exhibitors at the PENS National Conference in order to sponsor a Product Theater.
