Exhibiting
Don’t miss this opportunity to ‘show your wares’ to Administrators and Managers in the Region. Make some terrific contacts and identify invaluable sales leads. Most of the breaks and meals will be held in the exhibit hall thereby maximizing your exhibit dollars and efforts. Those interested in exhibiting should submit a completed Exhibitor Space Contract (link to exhibit space contract) Check out the exhibit hall floor plan to see who’s already making plans to exhibit.
