Maximize Your Visibility with a Product Theater
Product Theaters are turnkey, 45-minute marketing presentations about your company’s products or services. These sessions do not offer CME credit; rather, they give exhibitors the freedom to create a presentation centered on their company’s products.
Only DDW industry supporters who have secured a booth are eligible to apply for a slot for a product theater, subject to availability and adherence to all published guidelines.
