2017-2018 CHICAGO UROLOGICAL SOCIETY Exhibitor Prospectus
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT: Dear Potential Exhibitors, The Chicago Urological Society (CUS) is a professional non-profit organization comprised of urologists practicing in and around the Chicagoland area. Our members come from Chicago, its suburbs, Northern Illinois, Northwest Indiana and Southern Wisconsin to attend these meetings. This historic society was formed on April 23, 1903, making CUS the oldest local urological society in the United States. With over a hundred years of existence, the CUS membership has grown to over 220 urologists. We are planning an outstanding scientific program for the 2017-2018 season, featuring keynote speakers of international stature. Each of the six meetings are well attended with an average of 125 urologists. The CUS meetings offer its members not only high quality educational programming, but also the opportunity to exchange information and network with industry representatives. These six meetings are an excellent venue for lasting face time with urologists in a relaxing setting of fellowship. Each meeting consists of a four-hour CME accredited program, followed by a lively social hour with exhibitors. The six meetings will include a social reception. This extended reception provides exhibitors extra networking opportunities with our members and attendee. Your continued support of the CUS educational mission is deeply appreciated. Our success as an organization is attributed to all of your generous financial contributions. I look forward to seeing you at the University Club for another dynamic educational season. Sincerely, Tamra Lewis, MD, FACS President CENTRAL OFFICE Chicago Urological Society * 20 N. Michigan Ave., Ste. 700 * Chicago, IL 60602 * 312-853-2053
