Virtual Exhibit Description:
A virtual exhibit includes recognition on the event website along with a designated breakout zoom room during the webinar's break sessions. In accordance with new ACCME guidelines, exhibits must be separate from the educational part of any accredited activity; therefore, during the break sessions attendees will be encouraged to follow the link to the Virtual Exhibit Hall via Zoom Meeting.

The virtual platform provides flexibility for each attendee to shift between breakout rooms as they wish.
