Exhibitors

The 2025 Training Institutes offers a unique opportunity for exhibitors. Rather than a traditional conference hall with exhibitors relegated to that space, the Training Institutes provides exhibitors space throughout the main conference thoroughfares on all three days of the conference. This creates an engaging, interactive environment throughout the conference with every participant having the opportunity to engage with you and learn about your products and services. The need to support children, youth, young adults, and their families is greater than ever, so now is the time to engage with those working to ensure brighter futures.

Exhibitor Registration & Staffing:
Exhibitor registration includes two booth representatives.

To register a second or more exhibit representatives, you will need to be prepared to enter their contact and demographic information. The registration system does allow partial registrations if you wish to pause and return to the process when you have the second representative's information.
