The NASPGHAN Distinguished Service Award is presented to an individual to recognize excellence and service to the field of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition for achievement of national and/or international recognition in their field.

Teaching & Tomorrow Program: $75,000
NASPGHAN seeks support to continue our successful Teaching and Tomorrow program which brings promising pediatric residents to the NASPGHAN Annual Meeting & Postgraduate Course. This innovative program offers an extraordinary opportunity for a select group of residents to observe in person the clinical and scientific aspects of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition. A primary goal of the program is to expose the best and the brightest residents to the many facets of pediatric gastroenterology practice and research and encourage interest in a pediatric gastroenterology career.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

 
Conference Bags: $15,000

Bag Inserts - Fliers: $2,500 (PER INSERT) 
Double your exposure by inserting a flier, job opportunity, program announcement, or product into the conference tote bags; every attendee receives a bag and all bag inserts must be pre-approved by NASPGHAN.

Promotional materials will not be permitted in the meeting halls, reception areas or any location in the conference venue outside of rented exhibition space.

Lanyards: $10,000 
Every attendee receives a badge lanyard with their conference bag. Since badges must be worn at all times while at the meeting, attendees naturally rely on the fabric lanyards with a clip at the bottom to display their badge.
