American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Sponsorship Opportunities

ASA Sponsorship Opportunities

In this new program, ASA is bundling many events, programs and other assets into two levels of participation. At the highest level, ASA is offering two packages: ASA Industry Supporter and ASA Practice Management Supporter. These packages are multi-year agreements, designed to allow organizations year-round visibility and recognition with ASA members. The second level of participation is the ASA Annual Meeting Supporter package which includes a variety of benefits that enhance the participating organization’s presence not only at the ASA Annual Meeting, but before and afterward as well.


Year-Round Packages: Limited to 12 Companies


The ASA Industry Supporter package is the highest-level sponsorship package available to pharmaceutical and medical device industry companies. It offers a year-round affiliation with ASA, on-site shared sponsor recognition at the Annual Meeting and Conference on Practice Management, recognition in ASA publications and collateral materials, visibility on ASA website, access to ASA members through member e-newsletter communications, insert opportunities and invitations to major networking events. The investment to participate at this level is $100,000 per year.


The ASA Practice Management Supporter package is the highest-level sponsorship package available to non-medical, practice-related companies. Practice-related refers to a company whose business is not part of the continuum of care provided by anesthesiologists but whose products or services are used in a professional setting (e.g. coding, insurance, etc.). ASA Practice Management Supporters will have the opportunity to make a sales/promotional offer to ASA members and sole recognition in conjunction with one component at the Conference on Practice Management. This package also offers year-round affiliation with ASA, on-site shared sponsor recognition at the Annual Meeting and Conference on Practice Management, recognition in ASA publications and collateral materials, visibility on ASA website, access to ASA members through member e-newsletter communications, insert opportunities and invitations to major networking events. The investment to participate at this level is $100,000 per year.


Annual Meeting Package: Limited to 10 Companies

The ASA Annual Meeting Supporter package is a sponsorship package in connection with ASA’s Annual Meeting – the largest anesthesiology meeting conducted in North America. The ASA Annual Meeting is the premier educational and training event for anesthesiologists, with more than 700 sessions in nine clinical tracks. Both industry and practice management companies may purchase this package.

With the number of exhibitors at the ASA Annual Meeting growing each year, it becomes increasingly important to set your company apart from the other 325 companies on the Exhibit floor. ASA has carefully designed our ASA 2011 Annual Meeting Supporter package to enhance your company’s presence not only during the Annual Meeting, but before and afterward as well. As an Annual Meeting Supporter, your company will be one of the first that attendees will see via signage and online recognition. The investment to participate as an ASA Annual Meeting Supporter is $25,000.
