Dear Exhibitor: The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) invites you to exhibit at our next meeting, the ISHLT 35th Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions, April 15-18, 2015 in Nice, France.

The ISHLT membership is comprised of over 3000 members from over 45 countries, representing more than 15 different disciplines involved in the management and treatment of end-stage heart and lung disease, including mechanical circulatory support, pulmonary hypertension and infectious diseases. Our members are consumers of a wide variety of medical and pharmaceutical supplies, devices and services. Our meeting offers exhibitors direct contact with medical professionals who make or heavily influence decisions regarding the purchase of products and services provided by businesses such as yours.

The ISHLT meeting will feature the latest research results through Featured Abstracts, Satellite Symposia, Concurrent Abstract Sessions, Poster Sessions and Invited Lectures presented by scientific leaders. Exhibits will be open Wednesday April 15, Thursday April 16, and Friday April 17.

We are expecting approximately 3000 delegates in Nice, so please don’t miss the chance to market to this valuable group. Initial assignment of space will be made on January 15. Please send in your exhibitor application and payment in full to secure your exhibit space. Meeting and hotel information is available at www.ishlt.org.
