TRADE SHOW EXHIBITORS

The trade show is a highlight of our weekend program. The exhibitor booth spaces are located in an area directly adjacent to the meeting rooms. You can rent a table for $30 (skirt included) or bring your own table. The tables are 8’ and you are provided 2 chairs. Electrical services can be requested.

This year we are scheduling more agenda time to give attendees time to connect with vendors. We will offer all vendors the chance to give a two minute introduction in our opening session on Saturday to hear about what you are showcasing. We encourage you to get creative in further engaging the attendees by offering a special tradeshow promotion, drawing, etc.

All trade show exhibitors include 1 complimentary registration and 1 complimentary banquet ticket. Additional registrations or banquet tickets must be purchased separately or obtained via sponsorship.
