Attendees who wanted to use the WiFi center had to stare at durg ads. Why didn't they put it in a quite secluded room?
The AHA booth itself was strategically located among the drug exhibits.
This advertising at the AHA convention presumably accounts for most of the $230 million in "contributed services" revenue in the 2005 Annual Report of the AHA. It never says exactly what constitutes "contributed services" but we can make a good guess. These "services" dwarf donations from the public ($91 million). So if you were running the AHA, collecting salary and benefits of $750,000, who would you care about the most? The public or those contributing "services"?
