Convention Exhibits

The Exhibit Hall at the ASHA Convention is the largest showcase of companies dedicated to the professions of speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech and hearing science. This integral and dynamic element is the central hub of our annual event, connecting attendees with exhibitors offering the latest services and tools featuring cutting edge technology.

More than 300 unique businesses exhibit each year, making the ASHA Convention an exceptional one-stop opportunity for attendees to find practice solutions, and for exhibitors to reach ASHA members and related professionals.

2013 Exhibit Hall Hours

Floor Plan

Explore the Exhibit Hall before you even arrive in Chicago! The Virtual Expo for Attendees lists 2013 exhibitor profiles and booth locations so you can navigate the Exhibit Hall floor to plan your visit in advance.

Learning Labs

Learning Labs were developed to give exhibitors an opportunity to provide hands-on training to ASHA Convention attendees. The labs are small, intimate, exhibit floor theaters designed to create a comfortable and casual environment for presentation by a clinical or technical expert on a specific topic. These tutorials will lead attendees through procedures with a particular device, piece of equipment, or workstation. Learning Lab courses are 45 minutes and are NOT CEU-eligible.

Career Fair

Whether you're a seasoned professional looking for a challenging new job or are just starting your career, ASHA's Career Fair has the tools for you.

Graduate School Fair

The Graduate School Fair (GSF), an annual event held during the ASHA Convention, was created for academic programs to recruit and interview students for admission, and to share their vision of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) graduate education. Prospective students can check out who is exhibiting this year at the Graduate School Fair. Academic programs interested in exhibiting can find details about the Graduate School Fair and register to exhibit.
