ASHP’s annual midyear meeting wins multiple awards

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists’ (ASHP) Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition was recently honored with three awards.

The Trade Show Executive (TSE) magazine presented the ASHP’s midyear event with the Trade Show Executive Fastest 50 Award. The accolade ranks the conference in the top 50 fastest-growing shows by the expansion of exhibit programs and the number of exhibitor booths. The TSE also named the show a Fast Tracker, which makes the show part of the TSE’s Next 50, based on the meeting’s increase in attendance. The Midyear Clinical Meeting was also ranked 172 on the Trade Show News Network’s (TSNN) top 250 Trade Shows List.

The ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting saw its number of exhibitor booths rise by 13 percent from the 2015 show. The rising number of exhibitor booths is what led to the TSE awarding the meeting with the Trade Show Executive Fastest 50 Award. The overall average growth for the industry was 2 percent for exhibitor booths, 2.6 percent for exhibit space and 1.3 percent for attendance. The TSE will present the award, as well as the Next 50 award, when it holds its annual meeting in May in Las Vegas.
