Dear PENS Partner, The planning for our PENS 2016 National Conference in Denver, Colorado from May 12-15, 2016 is underway! We are making some changes for next year – the biggest change you will see is the PENS National Conference will begin on Thursday and end on Sunday. We had great feedback from the 2015 National Conference in Savannah thanks to the support of our many partners and we anticipate next year will be even better. We are pleased to have this pediatric endocrinology nursing conference available for not only novice, but experienced pediatric endocrine and diabetes nurses. We are requesting your support for this year to continue to make this conference a success. Please review the enclosed materials and main sponsorship opportunities available for the 2016 National Conference. We value your support of the PENS conference as it is a key factor to help us meet our mission of providing members with resources to advance pediatric endocrinology nursing, in order to meet the needs of the patient. If there are other sponsorship ideas for the PENS 2016 National Conference or opportunities throughout the year that you would like to discuss, please contact us directly so we can explore this further. If you have any questions or needs, please contact us at 913-895-4628 or by email at PENS@goAMP.com. I am looking forward to working with you this coming year and having our members hear more about you throughout the upcoming conference in Denver. Sincerely, Maryann Johnson, BSN, RN PENS President

CONFERENCE SUPPORT, EXHIBITING & ADVERTISING PENS offers several ways to increase your organization’s visibility to conference attendees. PENS National Conference support, advertising and exhibiting continue to be the best value for marketing opportunities in the industry. These opportunities are outlined here for your review. Using any or all of them will help better connect your company’s products or services to our meeting attendees.
Conference Support of a 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.
Exhibiting at the PENS National Conference

The exhibit area will be located near the general and breakout sessions for high visibility. We attempt to locate refreshment breaks in or near the exhibit area to promote traffic, depending on space.
Exhibit Booth Each 10' × 10' booth receives two complimentary booth representatives. Each 10' × 20' booth receives three. 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. Exhibitors paying conference registration fees will be awarded contact hours for educational sessions attended. Each booth also receives the PENS-discounted sleeping room rate (based on availability at the time of booking) and security during the hours the exhibit hall is not open. The exhibit space is an 10' × 10' area for you to display and/or demonstrate your company’s products and services. Pipe and drape will be provided.
Material Distribution is available and consists of a maximum of three catalogues, brochures, or other printed materials to be stocked and serviced by PENS staff at the “Take One” table.

It is agreed that the exhibitor will abide by and comply with the rules and regulations concerning local unions having agreement with the exhibition facility or with authorized contractors employed by exhibit management. Complete information, instructions and electrical work, and cleaning, etc. will be included in the Exhibitor’s Service Kit, to be forwarded by the designated service company after space has been confirmed.

Security will be provided during the hours that the exhibit hall is not open by exhibit management during the show, beginning on the day of setup until tear down. However, each exhibitor should make provisions to safeguard his/her goods from the time they are placed in the booth until the time they are removed. Exhibit management will not be responsible for loss or damage due to any cause. All Exhibitors must wear the official exhibitor’s name badge for admission to and while in the exhibit hall. 9. Booth Construction and Arrangement. Exhibits shall be arranged as to not obstruct the general view, nor hide the exhibits of others. Viper Tradeshow Services will provide all booth materials and furnishings, including custom banners. It is expressly agreed by the exhibitor that in the event he or she fails to install his or her products in his or her exhibit space or fails to pay the space rental by the time specified, exhibit management shall have the right to take possession of said space and lease some or any part thereof to such parties and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate. 10. Set-up and tear-down times strictly enforced. It is expressly agreed by the exhibitor that in the event he or she fails to install his or her products in his or her exhibit space, or fails to pay the space rental at the time specified, exhibit management shall have the right to take possession of said space and lease same or any part thereof to such parties and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem proper.

Exhibitor Representative. Each exhibitor must name at least one person to be his or her representative in connection with the installation, operation and removal of the exhibit. Such representative shall be authorized to enter into such service contracts as may be necessary, and for which the exhibitor shall be responsible. 13. Restrictions. Exhibit management reserves the right to restrict exhibits which are objectionable because of noise, glaring or flashing lights, method of operation, or any other reason, and also to prohibit or evict any exhibit which, in the opinion of exhibit management, may detract from the general character of the exhibit. This reservation includes persons, things, conduct, printed matter or anything exhibit management judges to be objectionable. In the event of such restriction or eviction, exhibit management is not liable for any refund of any amount paid hereunder. No display material exposing an unfinished surface to neighboring booths will be permitted. Flammable decorations and latex are not permitted in the exhibit hall. Demonstrations must be so located that crowds collected will be within the exhibitor’s space, and not blocking aisles or neighboring exhibits.

If the exhibitor fails to comply in any respect with the terms of this agreement, exhibit management shall have the right, without notice to the exhibitor, to offer said space to another exhibitor, or to use said space in any other manner. This shall not be construed as affecting the responsibility of the exhibitor to pay the full amount specified by the contract. 16. Compliance.
