Join companies from across the U.S. by exhibiting at ACG 2012, the American College of Gastroenterology Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course. ACG is a recognized leader in educating GI professionals and the general public about digestive disorders and our Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course is considered the premier GI clinical event of the year. It offers GI physicians the opportunity to network with peers, share experiences from their practice, learn the latest clinical information on key GI topics, and see the latest advances in gastrointestinal technology and therapeutics throughout the Exhibit Hall. More than 5,000 GI physicians are expected to attend ACG 2012 in Las Vegas, making ACG 2012 a must-attend exhibit opportunity for your company. ACG constantly strives to increase traffic to the Exhibit Hall. Below are just a few of the things ACG does to promote the Hall: • Verbal announcements in educational sessions and written reminders in attendee materials about the importance of the exhibitors and visiting the Hall during the conference. • Extended break times between sessions giving exhibitors more unopposed time with attendees. • President’s Reception in the Exhibit Hall on Sunday evening • Poster Sessions in the Exhibit Hall all three days • Hands-on Workshop Center in the Exhibit Hall all three days – if you are a device company, contact us and get involved! • Exhibitor Product Theater – contact ACG if you are interested in showcasing your product or service.

In a recent survey of ACG Annual Meeting attendees: 95% of ACG attendees visit the Exhibit Hall. 86% of ACG attendees who visited the Exhibit Hall indicated that meeting with Exhibitors was the main reason they visit the Hall. 90% of ACG attendees visiting the Exhibit Hall indicated that new products, product updates and educational information were their main interest.

It’s Vegas, baby.

Dining Options in Las Vegas These are just a few of the hundreds of dining options to choose from. American • Kristofer’s, Riviera • Nobhill, MGM Grand • SW Steakhouse, Wynn Las Vegas • Tableau, Wynn Las Vegas • The Country Club, A New American Steakhouse, Wynn Las Vegas. • Wolfgang Puck’s Bar & Grille, MGM Grand Asian • Chang’s, Bally’s • Tao Asian Bistro, Venetian • Wing Lei, Wynn Las Vegas French • Alex, Wynn Las Vegas • Bouchon at Venezia Tower, The Venetian

What to Do and See in Las Vegas From its humble beginnings in the 1800s, to the glamour and glitz of the Rat Pack area of the 50s and 60s and now home to some of the largest hotels in the world, Las Vegas offers world-class dining, shopping and entertainment for visitors from across the globe.

• L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, MGM Grand • Lutece, The Venetian • Pinot Brasserie, The Venetian Italian • Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare, Wynn Las Vegas • Corsa Cucina, Wynn Las Vegas

See what $70 million worth of lights are like by visiting Fremont Street. Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel. See the pyramid at the Luxor. Experience Venice, Italy when you take a gondola ride or walk the cobbled streets at The Venetian’s Grand Canal Shoppes. You can see the world without ever leaving Vegas.

• Fiamma Trattoria, MGM Grand

The Venetian and The Palazzo, all-suites hotels under one roof, will serve as the Headquarters Hotel for ACG 2012. In addition to the gondola rides that wind through and beneath the more than 70 shops and restaurants of the Grand Canal Shoppes, The Venetian and The Palazzo offer more than 6,000 suites, two casinos and the world-renowned Canyon Ranch Spa Club. Venture outside of The Venetian and The Palazzo and you’ll find even more world-class dining, shopping and entertainment to choose from at many of the nearby hotels.

• Zeffirino Ristorante, The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian

If your interests are more inclined towards hiking, climbing and horseback riding, take a tour of the scenic Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, just 20 miles outside of the city. Trek a little further and you can climb to the peak of Mount Charleston at nearly 12,000 feet or whitewater raft down the Colorado River or see the amazing Hoover Dam - inside and out. You’ll also find tour companies located in Las Vegas that offer one-day trips, either by mini-coach or helicopter, to the Grand Canyon. For continued updates on ACG 2012, visit www.acgmeetings.org.
