Affiliate Meeting and Event Requests at ENDO 2024

February 01, 2024

We are excited to invite thousands of endocrine professionals to Boston, MA, June 1-4 for ENDO 2024. ENDO is the seminal meeting in hormone health and science, welcoming leading experts, researchers, and the most respected clinicians in the field as we share the latest developments in endocrine research and patient care.

The Endocrine Society welcomes groups to host activities in conjunction with ENDO 2024 as it offers the premier opportunity to engage the endocrine community.

An affiliate meeting and/or an event (as defined by the Society) can be organized by a group affiliated with the Society and held either prior to or during the official ENDO 2024 dates. All meetings and events must be requested and approved by the Society. Other than approved educational meetings/events, the Society does not permit any other educational activities during ENDO 2024. Permissible meetings/events include the following activities:

  • Internal Sales/Business Meetings
  • Staff Meetings
  • Investigators Meetings/Industry Updates
  • Advisory Board Meetings
  • Patient Group Meetings
  • Roundtable Discussions
  • Social Events
  • Other Activities (as approved by the Society)

Affiliate Meeting Request Requirements:

  • All organizations (commercial and non-profit) that wish to hold functions in an official ENDO 2024 contracted hotel during ENDO must complete an Affiliate Meeting Request & Event form.

The official hotels will require written approval from the Society prior to discussing your event. Endocrine Society contracted hotels in Boston, MA will not reserve meeting rooms or function space for anyone during the official ENDO 2024 dates without prior written Society approval.
