Sponsor & Exhibitor Application

Deadline: January 9, 2025

Michigan Association of Osteopathic Family Physicians (MAOFP) invites organizations to take advantage of exhibit and sponsorship opportunities associated with our 2025 Winter Family Medicine Update. Showcase your company's products and services to family physicians, residents, and medical students from across the state of Michigan. MAOFP anticipates having approximately 100 in attendance at this conference.

Exhibit booths will be located near the room where meals will be served. Attendees will be encouraged to visit the exhibitor space as they break between each session. The agenda has been designed to drive attendee traffic to the exhibit area with almost 6 hours of dedicated attendee face-to-face time scheduled on Friday and Saturday. MAOFP will sponsor an Exhibitor Bingo contest or Community Give-back activity which encourages attendees to visit with exhibitors to be entered into a drawing for prizes. Exhibitors are encouraged to donate a prize for the contest.

Sponsors and exhibitors will also have profiles and visibility in the virtual event platform/mobile app. In-person attendees will utilize the platform to view the agenda, and session materials, and track their CME credits. Those that choose the virtual, on-demand attendance option will utilize the platform to view the educational sessions 2 weeks after the in-person event.

We look forward to hearing back from you before the application deadline of January 9, 2025. For more information, visit www.MAOFP.org. For questions about this event, please contact Sarah Botruff at the MAOFP office at events@maofp.org or 517-253-8037.
