ASCP 2015 Annual Meeting & Exhibition
GUIDELINES FOR ANCILLARY EVENTS
In order to optimize the attendee experience, ASCP monitors events planned in conjunction with the 2015 Annual
Meeting & Exhibition. ASCP has no desire to control your customer meetings; however, it is our goal to work in
tandem with you to ensure that your ancillary events are fully accessible to attendees by avoiding any potential conflicts
with ASCP official programming. In addition, by informing ASCP Staff about your ancillary events, we can serve as a
resource for you by directing attendees to your function.
Important Information on Scheduling an Ancillary Event
Ancillary events may not conflict with any official ASCP events, educational sessions, or exhibition hours. Continuing
education programs may not be offered at ASCP meetings outside of official ASCP programming. Any forum
presenting continuing education credit must apply for an official ASCP Satellite Symposium time slot.
To schedule an ancillary event, please complete and submit the “Ancillary Event Space Request Form” (page 2 of this
document). Please submit the request form via email to Kartraice Hooper at khooper@ascp.com for approval.
Ancillary events that are held in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Meeting & Exhibition are defined as events that
involve ASCP meeting attendees but are not planned, executed, or sponsored by the American Society of Consultant
Pharmacists.
Ancillary events include but are not limited to:
• Corporate Meetings
• Investigators Meetings
• Social Events

Informal meetings with clients in hotel lounges, restaurants, and the like are not included as an Ancillary Event.
Any company holding an ancillary event that fails to meet these guidelines set forth herein may be subject to a penalty or
may be prohibited from participating as an Exhibitor or a Satellite Symposium Sponsor at future ASCP meetings.
Regardless of the purpose and/or timeframe requested for the ancillary event, each room rental is subject to a $800 fee
per day/per event. Payments are due at the time an Ancillary Event Space Request has been approved by ASCP. Any
additional arrangements with ASCP Approved Vendors for an ancillary event will be at the expense of the organizing
company.
