Exhibitor, Sponsor, and Graduate Program Fair Information

Exhibitor and Sponsor Opportunities

The Southeast ACSM chapter has a variety of opportunities available for companies and organizations to market their products and services to sports medicine and exercise science professionals in the southeast and to gain local, regional, and national exposure for their company.

One of the highlights of the conference is the opportunity for one-on-one interactions with exhibitors participating in the meeting. The opportunity to learn more about the products and services that companies and organizations have to offer sports medicine and exercise science professionals is an important part of the meeting.

The sponsors and exhibitors that participate at the annual meeting are from a wide variety of industries and institutions. These vendors offer products, equipment or services that the conference attendees frequently use in their professions.

Please contact us if you or your company or institution would like to participate as a sponsor or exhibitor, or if you know of a company or institution that you would like to see at the meeting.

Contact Michael Berry (berry@wfu.edu) as soon as possible to learn more about these opportunities. More information is available at the SEACSM Annual Meeting website.

Graduate Program Fair 
We hope to see you at the Graduate Program Fair at the 2023 SEACSM Annual Meeting!

All available spaces have been filled, so this will be an exciting opportunity for students to learn about graduate programs in the region.

Contact Michael Berry at berry@wfu.edu if you have questions leading up to the event.

Attention faculty: Tips for bringing students to the SEACSM Annual Meeting

One of the best parts of being a faculty mentor is taking students to regional conferences. You get to show them inspiring scientific content and introduce them to peers and colleagues who share their passion for sports medicine and exercise science.

SEACSM Executive Board Member at Large, Bhibha Das, and Student Representative, Katie Spring, wrote an article for the ACSM blog with 11 Tips for Instructors Bringing Students to ACSM Regional Chapter Meetings. Check it out!
Attention students: This would be a great time to join ACSM!

ACSM student membership is available to eligible undergraduate, graduate and medical students for just $30 for the entire first year. ACSM student membership also includes access to resources and opportunities that will help you in and out of the classroom. Learn more about the benefits of membership.
If you aren't already a Southeast chapter member (probably from the 2022 Annual Meeting), you should also join the Southeast chapter, too. That will save a step when you register for the 2023 Annual Meeting. 

Student ACSM members are also eligible for ACSM Foundation research grants worth between $5,000 and $10,000 to student researchers and young investigators.
