Lighting Your Path – Survivorship After Breast Cancer
May 6, 2018
JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes
4040 Central Florida Parkway
Orlando, FL 32837
Target Audience:
This program should be of significant interest to breast cancer and breast disease patients, their caregivers, high-risk patients, and people who want to better support loved ones and friends with breast cancer.
Program Description:
If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer or someone you love has breast cancer, then you need to attend our unique, FREE support event, Lighting Your Path – Survivorship After Breast Cancer. Both breast cancer survivors and their caregivers/loved ones are encouraged to attend. Patients can learn ways to navigate recurrence and common stumbling blocks to achieving a full, rewarding life while living with breast cancer from nationally-recognized and local breast cancer experts. Caregivers can learn proven strategies for optimal support. There are also social opportunities during the event to create relationships with others in the Orlando area facing breast cancer, expanding your support network. Exhibits will also be available with products to help your breast cancer journey and giveaways for attendees!
Sponsorship and Exhibitor Opportunities:
If you are already looking to attend the 2018 American Society of Breast Surgeons Annual Meeting in Orlando, then this is a great opportunity for your organization to reach two channels (breast surgeons and patients) in one convenient location!
This is also a great opportunity for companies with a local presence to give back to members of their community, helping breast cancer patients in need. In addition, we will help promote the news of your goodwill to the greater Orlando, FL area and nationally, which may encourage brand loyalty and drive new customers to your business.
Secure your exhibit booth and/or sponsorship via the online form "Reserve Your Exhibit Booth and Sponsorship." All booths will be in high-traffic areas and will be promoted to both local and national audiences.
