Dear Exhibitors & Sponsors,
We are pleased to announce the 25th Annual California Academy of Audiology Conference at the Irvine Marriott in Irvine, CA on September 12-14, 2024. We invite exhibitors and sponsors as we celebrate 25 years of Audiology innovation, excellence, and education. The 2023 CAA Annual Conference in San Jose brought 379 attendees together for California’s home for Audiology continuing education. As the largest Audiology market in America, CAA 2024 will continue to provide excellent brand-building opportunities for you to present your new products and services to all attendees.
In 2024, the conference will kick off on Thursday with a Pre-Conference, Poster Session, and Welcome Reception. Friday and Saturday will include full days of educational programming, with many opportunities for networking, brand-building, and marketing for our exhibitors and sponsors. The layout of the Irvine Marriott provides an excellent prospect for presenting products and networking with the Audiology community. The Exhibit Hall, which also is the space for meals, will be conveniently located next to educational sessions and across from the registration desk, allowing for visibility throughout the conference.
This year, we are excited to offer four Platinum Packages, which include enhanced opportunities for our sponsors. Platinum Level Supporters can select from providing conference bags, lanyards, or notebooks with your logo, or, new in 2024, Wi-Fi for conference attendees (choice upon receipt of paid sponsorship). Your company name will be included in the Wi-Fi password for the duration of the conference. In addition, each Platinum Level Supporter will be given a 5-minute time slot during the educational sessions to present on the topic of their choice. Platinum Level supporters will be the only double booth on their respective walls in the exhibit hall and will receive a complimentary hospitality room.
A map of the Exhibit Hall will be provided closer to the event. Space is limited, and exhibitor space will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis upon receipt of payment. We look forward to celebrating this monumental conference with you. As always, thank you for your continued support of CAA, California audiologists, and the patients we serve.
If you have questions, please contact the Conference Planning team by email at at meetings@caaud.org or by phone at (888) 664-1135.
Sincerely,
CAA 2024 Board of Directors
