When does conference registration happen?
Registration is open! Vendors and sponsors will receive more detailed instructions on how to register once their commitment is confirmed.

No, we are not able to guarantee monitor access during the networking event.

Do I have access to the internet?
Yes, we will provide access to the campus Wifi upon your arrival.

How many people are expected to attend the vendor showcase?/what’s the traffic like? Everyone at once? flowing?
This is dependent upon our attendee number, but the conference is a popular association event. The vendor showcase will also be located in a primary conference area and we expect that most attendees will come by at least for a period of time. There will also be a networking event and other professional development activities taking place in the same building to encourage traffic flow.

When should I arrive?
This depends upon your schedule and whether or not you wish to join us for other conference programming. The Exhibitor Expo will take place from 3:00 - 6:00 pm, so we recommend you arrive by 12:00 pm so you have plenty of time to park, check-in, get set up, and eat lunch.

How many participant registrations are included in my sponsorship package?
You may reference the Sponsorship Benefits Grid for more information. If you need details regarding your level, please let us know and we can connect!
