Reserve your space at DDNA 2010

Why exhibit at DDNA 2010?

DDNA hosts the only national conference that targets nurses who specialize in the field of developmental disabilities. And once again this year we are holding our conference jointly with the physicians and dentists of the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry. This is the opportunity of the year to meet face-to-face with nursing and other medical and dental professionals who are key decision makers in purchasing for their clients and facilities. Your company establishes a distinct marketing advantage over your competition by educating attendees about the value and benefits of your products or services.

What are some benefits of exhibiting at DDNA 2010?

• We bring the customer to you - with pre-show mailings to DDNA's 2,000 plus members, to all the members of DDNA's 39 Regional Nurse Chapters/Networks, as well as to other medical professionals who also influence purchasing decisions for your products and services.
• Direct access to and networking with hundreds of nurse, physician, and dentist attendees who are highly interested in your product information and make purchasing decsions.
• An enhanced presence at the conference and ongoing visibility for your company in publications (newsletters and peer-reviewed journal), and on the DDNA website for sponsors.
