Showcase Exhibitors
|
Next Steps is first and foremost a learning and network building experience. Throughout the Institute, participants will have opportunities to interact with Showcase Exhibitors, but there is no time set aside exclusively for exhibition.
Both non-profit and for-profit organizations can apply to be an exhibitor at two corresponding price points listed below. For maximum exposure, we recommend that you also submit to present a Salon session. This session may feature how your idea or service is used in the environment it is intended for, but the Salon Session may not be used as a sales event.
Non-Profit Exhibitor Fees:
Set Up
Staff will be on-hand Monday beginning at 6:00 am to direct vendors and exhibitors. Check-in at the registration table to obtain your conference identification and table location. Displays should be set up between 6:00 am and 8:00 am Wednesday, October 10 and left in place until the close of program on Friday, October 12.
Equipment / Technology
Exhibitors are responsible for their own equipment, materials, backdrops, table drapes, electric cords, etc. Exhibitors are also responsible for maintaining the security of their property and the safety of visitors to their exhibits. If you plan to ship materials directly to the conference center, you are responsible for making your own arrangements with the venue, including covering any necessary fees.
Showcase Exhibitor applications will be accepted up to 30 days prior to the event or until we have reached capacity. All applications must be submitted online. As part of the online application, you will be required to submit a brief description of the program, process or organization you intend to showcase (no more than 50 words). This description should be appropriate to include in the Next Steps program and would serve to attract participants to your vendor exhibit.
