A marathon will take place in downtown Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday during SECO 2026.

ATTRACT MORE ATTENDEES: PUT YOUR PRODUCT IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Attendees tell us their main reason for coming to SECO, other than world class CE, is the opportunity to see the latest products, learn about state-of-the-art treatments, and experience the newest technologies, strategies, and innovations to keep their practices thriving. So, how do you let these influential attendees know that your new or latest is worth seeing? Start by promoting it! SECO will help drive traffic to your booth by promoting your exhibit hall specials, new product or technology launches, and any events (social gatherings, hands-on demonstrations, celebrity appearances) being hosted in your booth. While the print deadline has passed for the onsite event guide, you can still promote on the SECO mobile app and conference website. SUBMIT EXHIBIT HALL SPECIAL |
