Symposium Guidelines
All satellite symposia must be approved for ACPE credit. Providers can contract with AAPP to provide ACPE services.
An AAPP member must be selected as Program Chair and written symposia proposals must be approved by AAPP prior to submission to pharmaceutical grant providers.
Programming is limited to 60 or 90 minutes.
Due to streaming, meal service will be limited to the first 15 minutes of the time slot and programming must begin promptly at the scheduled time.
Responsibility for developing and implementing each symposium or product theater on-site is the responsibility of the provider.
No competing events are held during satellite symposia or product theaters, with the exception of the Monday and Tuesday breakfast slots when a limited audience community meeting may be offered.
AAPP will arrange appropriate meal service to include the following: breakfast for up to 100 attendees, lunch for up to 200 attendees, or break service for up to 100 attendees. Meal selections are made by AAPP and communicated to the provider in their confirmation document.
AAPP will assign one dedicated meeting room to symposia and product theaters. This room will be set banquet style (rounds) for up to 350 attendees.
With the use of one dedicated meeting room for all symposia and product theaters and a tight schedule, a standard room set and audiovisual and streaming package are required and are included in the fee.
Symposia and product theater providers must use AAPP’s preferred audiovisual provider for additional equipment and services at the provider's expense and as coordinated by the provider.
A speaker ready room is provided.
In-person attendance must be open to all AAPP Annual Meeting attendees and is only available to individuals registered for the AAPP Annual Meeting.
Live streaming of the event (audio and event screen/presentation) will be provided by AAPP. Virtual attendance at industry events is open to anyone, including those not registered for AAPP 2023, but it does require creation of a free account to access the stream real-time on aapp.org.
If Audience Response System (ARS) usage is desired for the event, the cost and coordination is the responsibility of the supporting organization/coordinator. With live streaming to virtual learners, use of an online ARS platform is encouraged with usage instructions detailed in the presentation. The ARS will not be embedded in aapp.org.
Speakers for the symposium or product theater must be paid registrants to the Annual Meeting for at least the day of the event if they wish to attend other AAPP events.
The provider's on-site staff is not required to be registered for the Annual Meeting unless they wish to attend other AAPP events. AAPP does require the provider submit the names of on-site staff.
Speakers and coordinating staff must be vaccinated for COVID-19 and agree to abide by all related AAPP Annual Meeting requirements related to COVID protections and all aspects of the Annual Meeting.
The full AAPP fee is due within 30 days after slot confirmation.
Multiple uses of the same speakers between events is discouraged. AAPP must approve speakers as a result.

AAPP intends to be live in Atlanta but the everevolving COVID pandemic will be closely monitored and, if absolutely necessary, all attendees, product theaters, and symposia will be converted to a virtual offering. Other sponsorships would be refunded in full or transferred to AAPP 2024 in Orlando.
