Exhibittrader.com Partners with Mediwatch USA for AUA 2011

6/16/2011 - EXHIBITTRADER.COM, INC., a Dallas-based corporation, recently partnered with Mediwatch USA in creating a booth environment to meet design parameters for their AUA (American Urological Association) meeting.

The annual event was held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center in D.C. from the 14th thru 19th of May this year. Now in its 106th year, the AUA Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of urologists in the world. The company furnished Mediwatch USA with a custom, modular 20 X 20 property to fill various marketing objectives.

Mediwatch USA desired elevated branding exposure without incurring the cost of rigger labor for installing a hanging sign. The display answered that need by incorporating a 20 foot graphic tower into the design. Nine, back-lit graphic lightboxes met the client’s wishes for illuminated, high impact graphics. Using an Abex 900 custom modular panel system, allowed for creation of a unique custom display, while retaining all the benefits of a modular system. The exhibit contained three individual workstations/demo areas with LCD monitors and a semi-private conference room. Characteristics of the Abex 900 help reduce the cost of drayage, set-up and shipping associated with Trade Show Booths.

Mediwatch USA, Inc., headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida is a division of Mediwatch UK, Ltd. Mediwatch has developed a range of medical equipment for the diagnosis of a variety of clinical conditions; including faster, simpler and less invasive, diagnostic products to save lives and restore quality of life, for people with a variety of urological conditions.

Nic Darker of Mediwatch USA states, “The finished stand gave us an attractive, modern look that set us apart. EXHIBITTRADER worked with us to get the design to suit our needs. We were very impressed with the ease of assembly and breaking down the booth.”

Michigan Institute of Urology-Annual Run

Michigan Institute of Urology Third Annual Run for the Ribbon: MyFoxDETROIT.com

myFOXdetroit.com - Prostate cancer is the most common type of non-skin cancer found in American men, affecting one in six, and is the second leading cause of death, according to the American Cancer Society. More than 217,000 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2010, with more than 32,000 men losing their fight with the disease.

The best defense against prostate cancer is early detection, which is why the Michigan Institute of Urology (MIU) is hosting its Third Annual MIU Run for the Ribbon on Fathers Day, Sunday, June 19 at 8 a.m. at the Detroit Zoo. The MIU Run for the Ribbon 5K run/walk is led by MIU CEO Alphonse Santino, M.D. and coordinated by MIU urologist Michael Lutz, M.D. MIU developed the run to increase awareness about prostate cancer and educate the public about the disease, including detection, prevention and treatment.

By tying prostate cancer awareness to the MIU Run for the Ribbon, we hope men, supported by their families, will be inspired to be proactive about their health. The risk of developing prostate cancer increases as a man ages, so men need to choose to know about their health with appropriate screenings. If youre going to fight like a man, you need to know everything you can, as early as you can, about your opponent, said Lutz. We hope to see more runners than ever this year as this event grows, along with awareness of prostate cancer.

MIU Run for the Ribbon has partnered with the American Cancer Society, The Prostate Conditions Education Council and Prostate Awareness and Cancer Education (PACE) Race Series and is one of only 18 sanctioned PACE races across the country.

The cost for early registration, made by May 30, is $20 for adults and $10 for children. Registrations made from May 31 to June 18 are $25 for adults and $15 for children. Race day registration is $30 for adults and $20 for children. Online registration at MIURunForTheRibbon.org is available until June 14, 2011.

T-shirts, blue ribbons honoring those with prostate cancer and medals will be awarded to all participants and finishers. Those with the disease will be given a hat to be honored and supported throughout the race for their courage.

Prior to the Run, on Friday, June 17, 2011, MIU will host its Run for the Ribbon Gala at Andiamo Warren at 7 p.m. The event features live entertainment by the Simone Vitale Band, a strolling dinner, cocktails, a silent auction and dancing to DJ Mike Anthony. Tickets for the event begin at $175 each.

Proceeds from both events will benefit prostate cancer treatment, research and education in the state of Michigan.

MIU Run for the Ribbon is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit charity whose mission is to further prostate cancer awareness, education, treatment and research opportunities in Southeast Michigan.
