Sponsors & Exhibitors

Sponsors and exhibitors

Sponsors of the LESS CHAOS surgical symposium are organizations that have provided an educational grant and/or in-kind equipment donation to support the event. Sponsors should contact Lara Beer-Caulfield to register for a table at LESS CHAOS: PHL.

Exhibitors are organizations that haven't provided a grant or in-kind equipment donation and would like to purchase an exhibit table at the event. Exhibit tables can be purchased online for $5,000.

Sponsors & exhibitors can reserve a table in either the pre-function area or the Hancock room. Breaks will occur in the pre-function space where attendees will walk through to access the event, and breakfast & lunch will occur in the Hancock room. You may select your prefered table area and the Foundation will assign the specific table location based upon availability.
