Fresh Faces in New Places
With reduced registration for residents and no-cost to medical students, it’s little
wonder that the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference & Exhibition
(AAP Experience) is increasingly attracting interest to our specialty. The AAP Experience is the
face of pediatrics and introduces the latest and greatest best practices in over 60 content
areas from Academy speakers in a variety of hands-on, interactive formats, all with mobileaccessible
resources. There are plenty of non-CME learning stations on the exhibit fl oor
including product theaters, meet the faculty events, book signings, and demonstrations of
products, services, simulators and many other exciting technologies.
This multi-faceted experience offers an array of unique social and networking events, awards,
as well as philanthropic and advocacy opportunities. We’re family-friendly and affordable
offering low-cost family registration and activities including a pre-conference kids’ camp and
welcome reception, fabulous tour programs, on-site child care and a nursing mother’s lounge.
