Exhibitors 2018
When you are an exhibitor at NCYM, you get to choose your booth size and location online, so it pays to register early. As you will see, we have many booth options, add-ons, and sponsorship opportunities available for every budget.
We appreciate your support of our conference. We want you to be able to connect with our conference participants. Our website and social media are the way we stay connected with conference participants and we want you to have a more visible presence on our website this year. Once you register, we want to get your listing posted in the exhibitor section of the NCYM.com website. The listing will include full company name, email address, website link, Facebook and/or Twitter handle, and 15 to 20 word company description.
While you are at the conference this year, we will be promoting exhibitors from the stage and trying to drive your traffic to your booth with bingo cards. Each participant will be given a bingo card in their registration bag. Once a participant comes to your booth and hears about your company’s products/services, you will sign the appropriate space on their bingo card. Once they fill their card, they will take their card to the registration booth to enter a drawing for a prize.
You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own prize to raffle off to participants. If you will be raffling a prize, we will announce what prize you are raffling from the stage in the last evening session. . Before the grand prize drawing on Friday evening at the end of the keynote session, you’ll pick a winner from the cards you’ve collected and we will announce the winners from stage.
