Sustainable Exhibitor Practices

Keeping with the goals of the conference, we request exhibitors to provide consumable or recyclable “freebies” for attendees to cut down on the amount of waste generated at the conference. In addition, exhibitors may purchase carbon credits which offset the environmental footprint of travel and materials. Please visit our website for specific offsets we are recommending.

Auction/Raffle:

Vendors spend time and money to come to conferences. We recognize this by promoting increased interaction between vendors and participants. We encourage all vendors to donate to a raffle prize or silent action item. We will develop interaction mechanisms to get participants to come to your booths to become eligible for raffle prizes. Your company’s donation will be prominently noted at the silent auction tables and at the raffle drawing.

Sponsors:

Sponsors will receive recognition in the conference program. Sponsors are needed for break-out sessions, breaks and meals. Event sponsorship will be assigned on a first-come/first-served basis. Sponsors who contribute more than $1000 are entitled to an exhibitor space (upon request) as well as sponsorship recognition. Please complete both the sponsorship and the exhibitor registration forms if this is your preference.
