"Ten years ago, the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) started using Smithbucklin event management services to give us extra hands on site at our annual conference. Since then, each year we have taken advantage of more and more of Smithbucklin's capabilities so they now handle everything from site selection, hotel contracting, overflow hotels & transportation, F&B, exhibit hall management and budgeting. For a reasonable investment, Smithbucklin's talented staff have helped the AAHKS Annual Meeting more than double in size. Our members always comment on how smoothly our complex event runs and express their respect for the organization as result of their experience."
