exhiBitsPlastic Surgery 2009 will showcase approximately 350 companies that will be displaying their products and services at Washington State Convention and Trade Center, Saturday, October 24 – Monday, October 26.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has partnered with ASPSN again this year to offer one combined exhibit hall. ASPS and ASPSN badges allow access into the ASPS exhibit hall. Representatives from a variety of companies will be on hand to answer your questions and demonstrate their products. You will learn about the latest products and services for plastic surgical nurses, and your practice will benefit from having a productive relationship with industry representatives who keep you informed of the latest developments in technology, pharmaceuticals, and other products and services for the plastic surgical nurse.

If you are registered for the ASPS physicians’ conference and wish to attend ASPSN scientific sessions, workshops, or any other ASPSN convention-related event, you will need to register for the ASPSN convention and pay the corresponding fee. ASPS badges will not grant admission into ASPSN functions.

hotel aNd traveltraNsPortatioNSeattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA-TAC) is the airport closest to the Sheraton Seattle Hotel. If driving from the airport, take Interstate 5 North and exit at Seneca Street (use the left lane off the exit ramp). Turn right onto Sixth Avenue. The hotel will be located 3 blocks down on the right.

Taxicabs/Shuttles Taxicabs and limousines meet travelers on the third floor of the parking garage at the airport. To arrange for a taxi or limo, use one of the curbside phones, information boards, or visit the Ground Transportation Center, located on the third floor of the parking garage.

Shuttles and buses run almost continuously around the clock, with scheduled departure and arrival times. For the most current schedule, rate, and reservation information, please contact the shuttle or bus company directly. A list of these services can be found at http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ground/shuttlebus.shtml

roommate loCatorASPSN offers the Roommate Locator Service as a way to reduce your hotel expenses. Just check the appropriate box on the registration form.

Your name, telephone number, address, arrival and departure dates, and smoking preferences will be provided to others who have requested this service. You will receive a list of potential roommates in advance of the meeting. Use this list of potential roommates to locate a roommate with similar preferences and arrival and departure dates. Once you find a roommate, please contact the ASPSN National Office to have your information removed from the list.

We strongly recommend that you make a hotel reservation as soon as possible. If a roommate is located and both individuals have reserved a room, one reservation can be cancelled.

seattle, WashiNGtoNSeattle is surrounded by water and mountains, and the city’s attraction lies in the stunning views seen from the many vantage points throughout its several neighborhoods. The height of Mt. Rainier is truly appreciated when seen from within the city, as it puts skyscrapers to shame from 200 miles away. These are views that indicate Seattle’s easy access to outdoor recrea-tional activities throughout the year. Seattle is one of the three “gateway” cities to the Pacific Northwest. It is a commercial, cultural, and transportation hub for the region.
