community. Sponsorship is being sought to support CME

State of the Art
Science
These programs are the
highlight sessions for the PAS Annual Meeting. Sponsorship
recognition includes signage on-site and recognition in the
printed programs.
- State of the Art Plenary are
a means of updating and solidifying understanding
interdisciplinary areas of pediatric medicine. These
sessions are also commonly forums for the
presentation of new developments and seminal advances in
biomedical research.
The focus of these sessions, which are spread
throughout the meeting, will be on bench to bedside
translations and the application of new science.
They consist of invited lectures from
international leaders in the field and are designed to
be of interest to a very broad range of attendees.
($12,000 exclusive; $3,000 partial)
- Topic
Symposia are programs
that address issues and controversies around topics of
interest to a particular audience.
As such, they are generally focused on a more
specific topic than the State of the Art Plenary and
allow time for active audience discussion.
Topic Symposium run concurrent with original
science platform sessions, poster symposium and
workshops. ($12,000
exclusive; $3,000 partial)
- Hot

of rapid clinical discovery and excitement and should

- Mini Courses are
programs that address important, relevant topics of
interest to all attendees from trainees to junior
faculty to more senior faculty.

strategies or techniques, which are not specific for any
specific discipline or subset of participants.
The emphasis is on practical and useful
information for the practicing physician or provider of
care. These programs are designed to be highly
interactive. ($6,000
exclusive; $3,000 partial)
Workshops
$3,000.00 (per session)
Workshops are selected using a peer review process; the format of

practitioner, investigator or academic leader.
Attendance is limited to make the sessions highly
interactive, seating is first come, first served.
Special Interest Groups $3,000.00
