COs

CO Central Park is a dedicated area inside the Expo where CO’s can expand their reach, talk directly with PAs from all over the country, and show off their Constituent Organization and its work!  Reserve your booth today for $450 and reap the benefits.  Each 8’x6’ booth comes with a table, chairs and wastebasket (space will also be carpeted). 

AAPA and the PA Foundation will be hosting PA Night Out on Monday, May 20 from 7 – 10 p.m. Host your event within one of the sponsored sections and let AAPA do the planning.  All PA and PA students (full conference badges) will receive access to PA Night Out as part of their conference registration.  If you are interested in a sponsorship opportunity, contact Heather Teplitz at hteplitz@aapa.org.
