On behalf of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association, and the Stroke Council Program Committee, we welcome you to join us for the International Stroke Conference 2009. The conference highlights our multi-year goal to reduce death and disability from stroke by 25% by the year 2010. The scientific and clinical content presented at this conference provides the basis for the American Stroke Association’s ongoing professional education programs.

The Exhibit Hall provides a unique setting for you and your company’s representatives to interact directly with attendees as they study the latest advances in their profession. As the neurologists and stroke professionals move from the formal educational sessions in the meeting rooms into the Exhibit Hall, the environment is ideal for the valuable exchange of information and new concepts.

This is where you, the exhibitors, can play an important role in the professional education that occurs at the International Stroke Conference. This interaction will provide you the maximum return on your exhibiting investment. The International Stroke Conference continues to be the premier meeting for cerebrovascular clinicians and scientists. The world’s leaders in stroke care and research will be there. We look forward to your participation and partnership in this world-class educational program and enthusiastically invite you to join us in San Diego.
