Affiliate Meetings

Events planned independently of ASHI are categorized as affiliate events. These activities provide opportunities for colleagues to gather and/or network with others within the field.

ASHI understands the value of having many specialists in one place and we offer the opportunity for universities, government agencies, non-profit and corporate/industry groups to organize non-educational events over the course of the Meeting. There is a non-refundable administrative fee for each approved application.

All events involving ASHI attendees require ASHI approval.

ASHI will begin officially releasing affiliate space on or around June 2019.

The schedule of the meeting is developed to maximize attendees’ participation in ASHI’s program and exhibits. Therefore, the availability and timing of affiliate events are limited.
