Tabletop exhibits
Each course offers the opportunity for organizations to provide information to women attending the courses by providing a tabletop exhibit. These tabletop exhibits are provided as a courtesy to patient advocacy organizations, and are also made available to others for a fee.
If you are a patient advocacy organization interested in requesting an exhibit space or need more information, contact Megan Stankewicz at 312-637-3438 or fwccourses@sgo.org.
If you are not a patient advocacy group, but interested in exhibiting at our courses, please download and complete the exhibit form. If you have any questions, contact Damen Erf at 312-548-3519 or damen.erf@sgo.org.
