    - Rosalyn M., Wisconsin, Member since 2008


    Industry Events

    The cost of industry-supported and sponsored (IS) events with food service presented at the 2025 AANP National Conference is not included in the conference registration fees. Non-CE product theaters are funded entirely by the supporting or sponsoring company, allowing AANP to offer some conference registrants complimentary access to a limited number of non-CE educational presentations. Due to their educational focus and guideline requirements, attendance is restricted to conference registrants only. To expedite the admittance of attendees into these events, registration will occur onsite at the entrance of each scheduled event on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no preregistration.

    Make plans to visit the Exhibit Hall and explore the many resources offered:

    • The AANP Plaza is your one-stop shop for AANP resources, helping you stay involved in your NP organization.
    • The AANP Career Fair allows you to meet directly with employers from around the country who are searching for NPs in various specialties.
    • Booths from a number of health care organizations and health tech companies help you explore new products and trends in health care.
    • Industry Scientific Poster Presentations keep you up to date on new research and approaches for your patients.
    • The AANP Partner Pavilion provides you an opportunity to learn about the many goods and services available to AANP members.
