Event Marketing

This collection of work includes Surgical Conference & Expo pre-event and attendee marketing examples. A consistent look and feel was established to promote pre-conference, and leadership summits (conference within a conference). Messaging and design all worked as a unified system to support the overall AORN brand.

Additional examples include pieces supporting the Center for Nursing Leadership, a separate division of AORN.
