Spring Expo Booths Nearly 1/2 Sold Already!

If you’re considering registering to exhibit at OHCA’s 2010 Spring Expo event right now is a great time to start planning.  Although not recognized in the marketing brochure, it’s still a good idea to register early for exhibit space so that you can get the best choice of booths available.

Here's some of the benefits of exhibiting at the conference:

• A sales representative would have to travel for weeks throughout the state of Oregon to receive the same exposure they get at the OHCA Spring Expo.

• At the trade show, attendees have a chance to see things up close, discuss advantages with a representative and even sample many of the products.

• Gain exposure by being included in the Virtual Conference as well as in event marketing materials which are viewed by prospective and registered attendees (the earlier you register, the more value you'll receive)

• Opportunity to attend the Fun Night Masquerade Party on Monday evening. This is a great time to network outside of the trade show setting (tickets will be available for purchase through your Exhibitor Info. Form, so be sure to submit yours in advance to ensure you get a ticket while they're still available)

• Receive exclusive pre (sent about 2 weeks prior) and post (sent about 1 week after) event attendee lists which you can use to further your marketing efforts

The following are the types & prices of booth spaces still available as of today, and you can view the schematic with current booth availability online at:  www.ohca.com/virtualts.htm.

*booth prices are ranked according to their location on the tradeshow floor (closer to entrances, higher traffic areas are ranked higher) View the schematic with current booth availability online at:  www.ohca.com/virtualts.htm.
