The Exhibit Hall opens at 8 a.m. each day, giving you more time to explore many products and services and meet with representatives from more than 210 companies at ATS 2016.
A big part of your ATS 2016 International Conference educational experience is the Exhibit Hall. We’ve made some impactful changes to complement the knowledge you’ll gain while you explore the Exhibit Hall. This year’s Exhibit Hall will fuel your learning and help you stay fit while you’re on the road.
Enjoy a Nutritious, Complimentary Breakfast
It can be difficult to get a nutritious breakfast when you’re traveling, but you can in the ATS Exhibit Hall each morning from 8 to 9 a.m. The ATS will offer a free, heart-healthy and light continental breakfast, featuring a selection of nonfat yogurts, low-fat granola, sliced seasonal fresh fruits, dried fruits, assorted low-fat muffins, low-fat cream cheese, and fruit preserves.
Get an Early Start in the Exhibit Hall
The Exhibit Hall opens at 8 a.m. each day—two and half hours earlier than last year—so you can get a jump on exploring a multitude of products and services and meet with representatives from more than 210 organizations. In addition, the ATS has set aside one hour each day, from 1:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., when no sessions or events are concurrently held.
Forge a Path to Learning with WayFinders
To help you quickly find what you need in the Exhibit Hall, the ATS has added a new technology tool—WayFinders. Prominently located throughout the Exhibit Hall, interactive standalone touchscreens allow you to search for exhibitors by company name, product category, or keyword. After your results display a list of matching exhibitors with their booths highlighted on a floor plan, just click print and walk away with a handy map showing you the way to the exhibitors you wish to visit.
Stay Fit: Take the Walking Challenge
The ATS and TEVA Respiratory have teamed up to help you stay active and raise funds for the ATS Foundation. All you need to do is to take part in the ATS Walking Challenge. Reward yourself by staying active, and you could be rewarded by the ATS for your efforts too.
The first 2,000 registrants receive a free ATS wireless tracker to use with the walking challenge app (distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis). Be one of the top three overall steppers and win a prize—Grand prize is a Microsoft Surface Pro 3; second prize is a Fitbit Surge; and third prize is a Zolt Laptop Charger Plus.
Increase your steps virtually by visiting the TEVA Respiratory booth for a daily step booster. While in the booth, use the Walking Challenge Mobile App to scan the QR code booster each day. Earn 500 steps on Day 1, 750 steps on Day 2, and 1,000 steps on Day 3. More visits add up to more steps. Track your steps and watch the results unfold live on leaderboards in the TEVA Respiratory booth and at the ATS Walking Challenge booth.
For every participant who walks 30,000 steps, TEVA Respiratory will make a donation of $100 to the ATS Foundation, for a total maximum donation of $50,000.
To make it fun, look for colorful, “street” signs noting the number of steps to prominent places, such as the Golden Gate Bridge.
The ATS Walking Challenge Mobile App also supports attendees who prefer to use their own Fitbit, Jawbone or iPhone/Android smartphone step counters.
