Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorship is one of the most effective ways to build visibility and connect directly with scientists in the pharmacology and experimental therapeutics community. Sponsors receive recognition throughout the four-day meeting and in pre- and post-meeting communications. It’s a powerful way to position your organization as a trusted partner in the field.

ASPET has partnered with SPARGO, Inc. to manage exhibits and sponsorships for the 2026 Annual Meeting. Together, we’re bringing new ideas and fresh energy to create meaningful engagement between sponsors and attendees.

Kristin Hudson, Director of Sales at SPARGO, will lead exhibit and sponsorship sales, while CEM Meghan Leahy will oversee operational and logistical support. For questions, they can be reached at aspetexhibits@spargoinc.com. You’re also welcome to contact partnerwithus@aspet.org with any questions.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis in 2026!
