Exhibit Hall Visit Could Yield Surprises

APA's 2005 Institute on Psychiatric Services (IPS) is an informal, practical, and clinically focused multi-disciplinary meeting offering excellent educational sessions and the opportunity to network with colleagues from the United States and abroad.

The central gathering point for the meeting will be the Exhibit Hall, which will be the site of morning coffee breaks and afternoon receptions. Commercial and educational exhibitors will be available to discuss the latest products and services for psychiatrists and mental health professionals. The APA Member Center and APA Job Bank, along with pharmaceutical-product information, the latest computer software, books, and other products, will be featured.

Registrants who visit the Exhibit Hall will have opportunities to win prizes at both morning and afternoon drawings. The prizes this year, supported by IVAX Pharmaceuticals, will include a color television, Palm Pilot, personal copy machine, fax machine, cordless phone, DVD player, digital camera, video camera, stereo, notebook computer, free registration for the 2006 APA annual meeting in Toronto, Canada, and free registration for the 2006 institute in New York City.

The exhibits will open at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 6, and close at noon on Saturday, October 8. Celebration Recovery, hosted by the Irwin Foundation and APA (see article above), follows the close of the exhibits.▪
