Are there other ways to promote myself to attendees? Exhibitors may choose to enhance their presence at the event with a booth package that includes advertising and/or a discounted Business Finder listing for visibility beyond the Conference for twelve months on the Center's website.
When can I create the Business Finder listing included in my Exhibitor package?

Exhibiting at the Event
May Exhibitors attend conference sessions? Yes, of course! Attending sessions is great for professional development and a good networking opportunity. Please be respectful of sessions that require advanced sign-up, which are solely for nonprofit professionals who have reserved a spot.
Will you announce my giveaway to attendees? Hosting a giveaway is a great way to attract attendees! It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to announce the recipient of giveaways or other competition winners. The Center does not facilitate the announcement or distribution of prizes to winners.
