AAPS Exposition Announces Record Breaking Year

ARLINGTON, Va. - The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) announced another record year for its 2001 Annual Meeting and Exposition, Oct. 21-25 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. The 2001 exposition will set a new record in regards to both number of exhibitors and booths. More than 500 companies have purchased in excess of 900 booths.

"The AAPS exposition continues to expand with seven percent more booths than last year and 19 percent more than 1999," said Grace Jones, AAPS Senior Manager, Expos and Registration. "The AAPS exposition continues to grow as companies pass on the word that AAPS delivers the top pharmaceutical scientists from around the world. Our best advertising comes from our exhibitors."

In 1999, Tradeshow Week named the AAPS Exposition one of the top five fastest-growing medical tradeshows. Several key pharmaceutical and scientific corporations will be using this year's meeting to make major product and company announcements.

"The Annual Meeting and Exposition is absolutely 'the' event for the research and development community in the pharmaceutical industry," said exhibitor Allison Millard, Manager, Business Development, University Pharmaceuticals of Maryland, Inc. "It's the one place to be each year that I would not miss."

Approximately 8,000 attendees from close to 40 countries are expected to attend this year's meeting. Potential registrants can preview the exposition by visiting the online expo at www.aapspharmaceutica.com/onlineexpo.
