EXHIBITS
It is a good idea for you to showcase your company in front of 3000 after-school care professionals who provide care to 2,000,000 children and youth, isn't it?

The National AfterSchool Association (formerly NSACA) Annual Conference is that place for you. We will have a very walkable exhibit area with about 200 booths, a grand opening with food service, and with special sessions right in the Exhibit Hall. Click here for Exhibit Application.

While you may think of this as the most traditional method for participating - we've got even more innovative ideas for you.

PROVIDE A SHOWCASE We will have space set aside in the Exhibit Hall for you to reserve to host a showcase about your product or service - 30 minutes with you "on stage." The showcase schedule will appear in the Conference Program. If interested, please contact Vicki Carr (carr@rniweb.com or 508-879-4899). Space is limited. First-come, first-served.

EARLY BIRDS GET THE MENTION Anytime information is printed and there is room for an Exhibitor List, all exhibitors signed up at that time will be listed.

TOTE BAG INSERTS All Exhibitors (and only Exhibitors) are invited to include anything from a postcard to a catalog in the attendee tote bag. The fees range from $300 to $2005, depending on the size of the insert. Although participation is first-come, first-served, there is a maximum of 15 pieces or a total stack of less than 2".

LOGO PROGRAM Another "Exhibitor Only" program allows exhibitors to create Conference Logo products for sale at their booth. NAA will provide the logo in exchange for 9% royalty on sales. Click here for details.

And in appreciation for our vendors - there is again a true FREE LUNCH on Friday and Saturday for each exhibitor attendee.

General information on exhibiting can be found on the Exhibitor Application with more detailed information included in the Exhibitor Agreement. The Floor Plan is also available for your review.

Information going to potential attendees and registrants will include the lists of businesses and organizations signed up to exhibit at the Conference. Not only is this another occasion of advertising for you, our attendees like to plan their shopping as well.

ADVERTISING
You know that frequently an advertisement can help draw attention to your exhibit booth. The advertising opportunities for 2010 include not only the Onsite Conference Program, but also the Preliminary Conference Brochure. And new this year is the INFO BAG. Can't come to the conference - send your material instead.

An info bag (with a minimum of 5 participants) will be prepared and given to attendees at registration. Send us your sell sheet, your catalog - its less expensive than postage and we'll be providing a direct delivery. Click here for more details.

SPONSORSHIPS
Here's where we get creative. This is the place to really demonstrate your alignment with the mission of NAA, with the goals of the attendees, and with the desire to promote an outstanding experience at the conference.

Sponsor opportunities begin at $1500, but as you review the specifics, you'll see how far your dollar is actually going. Part of partnering is giving you good value. And these sponsorships have two-way value as a focus.
