Using any or all of them will help better connect your company’s products or services to our meeting attendees.

Conference Support of an PENS Event

Advertising in the Final Program Book

Supporting a PENS event is the most effective way to show your potential/current customers that you support PENS. PENS offers many different levels of support. See page 4 for more information.

The PENS Final Program Book is distributed to all individuals registered for the conference. This book includes meeting timetables, exhibit descriptions and other essential information.

Booth representatives are invited to participate in all food and beverage events held in the Exhibit Hall. Any exhibitor wishing to register for and attend the conference educational sessions will register through the registration process used by conference participants.
