Format

We know that to truly inform and inspire students, their interest needs to be engaged. Therefore, all exhibitor booths are requested to include an interactive component to their booth. Not only will this draw people to speak to you, it will help them remember what you say, create a positive association with your message, and have them talking about their experience to other friends and family. Be sure to describe your interaction component in your registration so that we can ensure any hazards to other attendees are properly managed or avoided upfront. 

If you need ideas on how to design an impactful booth, or want to stand out and show leadership through sponsorship, don't hesitate to get in touch. 

Exhibitor registration will close on April 30 or when sold out. Spaces are limited. Register Now to save your space and make a difference for young people in our community!
