Benefits of Sponsoring the AAGLAAGL was the very first organization in the world dedicated to gynecologic endoscopic surgery when it was founded in 1971. We remain the largest group dedicated to minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS), breaking ground by way of education, communication, and research. From the beginning, our mission has been to provide a platform upon which the best and the brightest in our industry could share their

research, educate their peers, and advocate surgical options that make the lives of women better.

By partnering with AAGL and supporting our efforts, sponsors are offered opportunities to advance their products and services at AAGL meetings, including our acclaimed Annual Global Congress, and through other media. There is no

more powerful way to connect with this market than through the AAGL.

Access to more than 7,500 physicians with a specific interest in minimally invasive gynecology surgery (MIGS).

Increased Awareness of your brand through our advertising opportunities.

Exhibit your products and services at the AAGL Global Congress on MIGS – the largest clinical meeting dedicated to minimally invasive

gynecologic surgery in the world.
