Come to IPS’s Exhibit Hall for Coffee, Chatter, And Prizes

APA’s Institute on Psychiatric Services is an informal, practical, multidisciplinary meeting with a clinical focus that offers attendees excellent educational sessions and—and just as important—the opportunity to network with colleagues, both nationally and internationally.

To facilitate that interaction, the institute features a central gathering point—the Exhibit Hall, which will be located this year in the Upper Exhibit Hall on the fourth floor of the Palmer House Hilton Hotel.

The Exhibit Hall will be the site of morning coffee breaks and afternoon receptions. Commercial and educational exhibitors will be available to disseminate information on the latest products and services for psychiatrists and mental health professionals. In addition, APA staff will be on hand in the APA Resource Center to answer questions and provide handouts on many topics, and psychiatrists seeking new positions and employers will find the services of the APA Job Bank indispensable.

Registrants will be eligible to win prizes at morning and afternoon drawings. This year’s prizes include a notebook computer, Palm Pilot, personal copy machine, fax machine, cordless phone, DVD player, digital camera, stereo, free registration for APA’s 2003 annual meeting in San Francisco, free registration for the 2003 institute in Boston, two nights’ lodging at the Marriott Copley Place (the site of the 2003 institute), free dinners, and two roundtrip domestic airline tickets.

The exhibits will open at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 10, and close at 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, October 12. ▪
