SAGES Exhibit Advisory Council (EAC):
SAGES EAC helps to
shape future exhibits. The EAC meets twice annually, once at the SAGES annual
meeting and once during the Fall Clinical Congress. Discussions focus on
creating and maintaining a dynamic exhibit experience. SAGES leadership attends
the meetings and participates in the discussion.
