Hi! We are looking for volunteers to help with the Student Help Desk at the SEACSM Annual Meeting. These slots are for 1-hour intervals, and you are more than welcome to sign up for multiple slots. You can sign up HERE. This is a great way to get involved at the conference!

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.
