Satellite Symposia Overview
NLA Satellite Symposia are defined as non-commercial presentations and discussions that provide valuable scientific and educational benefits to the audience. It is critical that your educational content center on a therapeutic topic area that has been identified as an educational need by NLA members as outlined below. Additional needs assessment data are welcomed.
New in 2008
In 2008, the NLA will CME-certify and endorse the content of all satellite symposia held ancillary to our scientific meetings and will manage the logistics of the events. However, satellite symposia remain separate and independent from the official scientific sessions offered by the NLA. These new fees and responsibilities are listed on page 10-11. In addition, the NLA now offers the opportunity to expand the reach of your satellite activities through enduring programs, such as webcasts and print materials, posted on our CE website, NLACME.com.
