Millstone Township, NJ (February 9, 2012) – The North American Center for Continuing Medical Education, LLC (NACCME), the CE-sponsor for the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring and Fall meetings, and SAWC co-host, HMP Communications, LLC, today announced that the exhibit hall is officially sold out for the 25th annual SAWC Spring and Wound Healing Society (WHS) Meeting to be held, April 19 -22, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia.
SAWC Spring’s 45,000 square foot sold out exhibit hall will host more than 170 exhibiting companies representing a wide variety of wound care products and services. Although exhibit space is all sold, show management has created a waiting list for booth space and is already working to assist companies unable to exhibit with putting their marketing message in front of the 2,000 plus wound care physicians, podiatrists, nurses, therapists, and researchers who will be attending the Atlanta meeting.
With the excitement surrounding SAWC’s 25th anniversary, attendee registration is pacing 25% ahead of 2011 at 11 weeks out from the event and the heaviest registration period still to come. SAWC’s 25th anniversary activities will include an evening celebration at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia. Attendees to the 2012 SAWC/WHS will have private access to the world’s largest aquarium and the largest collection of aquatic animals. For additional information about the Aquarium, please visit www.georgiaaquarium.org.
