Reaching the AAHKS Members

The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons represents over 1,350 members, primarily total joint replacement surgeons, including most of the leading doctors in this rapidly-growing specialty. (Demand for knee replacements is projected to triple by 2030; double for hip replacements.)

AAHKS therefore represents the most concentrated, targeted market for specialists in adult reconstruction and total joint arthroplasty in the world.

There are several ways your company can use to reach this important and valuable market segment.

Exhibit at the AAHKS Annual Meeting in November

With over 700 attendees, the 2009 AAHKS Annual Meeting set a record, and the exhibit hall was sold out, so you should plan to reserve space early. Exhibitors are offered the opportunity to maximize their exposure to attendees by presenting events and symposia. Contact Eileen Lusk, Director of Education and Meetings at 847-698-1200 or at Eileen@aahks.org or download an exhibitor prospectus.

Market to AAHKS Members by Direct Mail.

AAHKS rents its mailing list for a one-time use to companies and organizations whose products and services we believe will be of specific interest to Hip and Knee Surgeons. This is not available for products and services directed at a general consumer market, which do not relate to the practice of Hip and Knee Surgery. AAHKS reserves the right NOT to rent its mailing list for any reason it deems inappropriate, in its sole judgment. Phone numbers and E-mail addresses of members can not be provided. Contact Krista Stewart, Member Services Specialists, 847-698-1200 or at Krista@aahks.org.
