No. Admittance to the Colorado Convention Center during the Annual Meeting is restricted to those who register to attend. This means all exhibit organizers, all booth staff, and all industry guests and speakers must be registered to attend the Annual Meeting, including people only attending specific industry sessions or visiting the exhibit hall.

You may register those guests using your complimentary badges, and extra exhibitor badges may be purchased for $75 USD each through the exhibitor registration portal once your allotment is used. Extra scientific badges may be purchased at the current applicable rates through the regular attendee registration portal.

Exhibitor badges do not permit entry into scientific sessions or allow the badge holder to present a poster in the hall. All attendees, exhibitors, and guests must be registered with their own badge, and badges may not be shared, altered, or exchanged.

Please visit our Host an Event page for more details and qualification guidelines, and the form to apply.

Ancillary event organizers may also host the event at another location of the organizer’s choosing. Industry sponsors of ancillary events, such as receptions and after-hours promotional events/parties, must also apply through the ancillary event form and may not host after-hours events that are primarily educational in nature.

ASHG does not offer sponsored keynote/plenary/general sessions, in accordance with our education accreditation standards. Industry and ancillary events are not permitted to overlap official scientific programming.

Ancillary event applications are due by Wednesday June 26, and spaces will be approved and assigned by late July. There is an additional late application deadline of Wednesday September 11, pending availability. Please visit our Host an Event page for more details and qualification guidelines, and the form to apply.

Current exhibitors receive their badge allotment as part of their booth registration. Non-exhibiting industry event sponsors (companies with no booth space) that reserve only an industry event onsite at the convention center receive 1 scientific badge and 2 exhibitor badges per reserved session. (Non-exhibiting companies may sponsor a maximum of 2 sessions without a booth reservation). There are no badges provided for hosting an ancillary event.

See the Badges, Registration, & Housing section above for more information.

All attendees, guests, staff, onsite vendors, and speakers for all events held at the Colorado Convention Center during official meeting and exhibit hall hours, including industry and ancillary events, must be registered to attend the ASHG 2024 Annual Meeting, subject to the registration terms and conditions, and meet any health and safety criteria outlined by ASHG and the Colorado Convention Center.

ASHG does not record or live stream industry events. Exhibitors / session sponsors are welcome to bring in a videographer to record or livestream their own session and/or the activities in their booth through the vendor of their choice, as long as it’s not disruptive to Freeman or our schedule. No other photography or videography of any kind is permitted in the convention center, of nearby/competing exhibits, other activities in the exhibit hall, etc. Please refer to our 2024 exhibitor rules and regulations for additional information.

Yes, under certain conditions. Non-exhibiting companies may sponsor up to two (2) industry speaking opportunities and purchase select email advertising, onsite advertising, and sponsorship opportunities as long as they display content relevant to their ASHG sessions only. Non-exhibiting companies are not eligible to purchase banner ads in Annual Meeting emails and may not rent meeting room space / exhibitor suites during the Annual Meeting. Visit our Advertising & Sponsorships page to learn more.

ASHG also offers digital advertising and content hosting options for all companies to reach our members year-round! Download the ASHG Media Kit for more details.

ASHG sells booth space independently from any advertising, speaking, or sponsorship offerings; all ads and sponsorships are sold a la carte. Reserve your space today, and contact exhibits@ashg.org to discuss bulk pricing for buying multiple ads or sponsorship items!

Each CoLab Theater in the Exhibit & Poster Hall comes equipped with a basic AV package (projector with screen, speakers, podium with mic, and audience mic) and chairs set up theater style for around 75 people, so all your speaker has to do is bring a USB drive with their presentation and present! No additional service orders are permitted for CoLab sessions (such as catering, wifi, extra AV, etc.) because of the tight scheduling between sessions.

Each Industry Education session room comes with chairs set up theater style based on the room’s capacity. It is the organizer’s responsibility to arrange and purchase any and all other services required or desired for your event, including audiovisual, food and beverage, labor services, etc.

At a minimum, sponsors of Industry Education sessions should order AV services so your speakers have equipment on which to give their presentation. We recommend a basic package of projector, screen, sound mixer, speakers, and three microphones – two mics for the speaker table/podium (either table tops or lavaliers/lavs) and one standing mic for audience questions.

Catering of some kind is also recommended as a great way to attract and retain attendee’s attention throughout your session (either lunch for a lunch session or snacks and beverages for an afternoon session), as ASHG does not provide attendee meals.

Please review the Industry Speaking Opportunities page for a list of helpful links for service pricing and ordering (available this summer).

Please visit our Advertising & Sponsorships page for more details on items available for the Annual Meeting.

ASHG also offers digital advertising and content hosting options to reach our members year-round! Download the ASHG Media Kit for more details.

No. Per the ASHG Privacy Policy, ASHG does not sell, rent, or share contact/lead lists of members or meeting attendees. ASHG also does not sell direct emails to our members or attendees. Our attendees do have the ability to opt in to sharing whether they will be attending the meeting; you can find that list of voluntary information in the ASHG 2024 Attendee Search (available after registration opens in early May).

Registered exhibitors and sponsors may also order lead collection for the Annual Meeting through our registration partner CDS at XpressLeadsPro.com. This year’s show code will be published in early May.

Be alert! ASHG exhibitors are being approached by companies or visiting websites that falsely claim to offer the official attendee email list for ASHG 2024. Do not attempt to order these fake and malicious lists. None of these companies are legitimate, and any solicitations for ASHG mailing lists are scams and are in no way endorsed, promoted, or protected by ASHG. Please contact exhibits@ashg.org to report suspicious contacts.

Registered exhibitors and sponsors may order lead collection for the Annual Meeting through our registration partner CDS at XpressLeadsPro.com. This year’s show code will be published in early May.
