If you are obtaining credits from the conference, separate registration is required.
As we have done in past conferences, each attendee will receive an exhibitor passport paper. This paper will be used to collect information from you to show they have stopped by your table. You may use this time (stamping the paper) to describe your program or agency.
Exhibitors are encouraged to complete the appropriate forms online. A downloadable form is coming. Please note that exhibit tables are also included for free with many different sponsorship levels.

Advertising in the conference program is a great way to get your program/agency into the hands of social workers without the additional cost of travel, lodging, and staff time of exhibiting. Every attendee receives a program book at the conference. Each time attendees open the book, you have the likelihood of reaching them. The book is referred to repeatedly and is used for future reference following the conference. This is the perfect opportunity to advertise your organization and support NASW-PA at the same time.
