Exhibitor Workshops bring industry expertise
straight to you. These workshops offer an
excellent opportunity to learn the details
of a product — directly from the vendor.
Workshops are open to all attendees.
The AAAS Exhibitor Workshops offer an unique
link between the vendor exhibit and the
technical session: a detailed and specific
interchange of problems and solutions. Workshops
feature lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on
experiences presented by speakers from exhibiting
companies.
