360° Fair Trade Conference and Expo The Fair Trade Federation is pleased to invite you to our 2017 Conference and Expo in Louisville, KY from March 29-31.

We all look forward to the conference each year. It is our chance to come together as a community, share our joys and challenges, and reinvigorate ourselves for the year ahead.

Sponsors of our conference are true leaders in fair trade. By supporting our work, you make a powerful statement about your commitment to authentic, 360° fair trade. You also gain visibility to an audience of like-minded peers; there is no other event in North America where businesses driven entirely by fair trade values gather together in one space. We couldn't do this without the support of our leading members and partners.

The following pages outline how you can become an integral part of the 2017 conference. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Unique Opportunity The 360° fair trade conference is a unique opportunity to network and develop new relationships with other fair trade businesses. We've created a space where mission driven fair trade businesses - both retail and wholesale, handmade and food & farm - gather together to share their stories. In addition, the annual fair trade expo is the only sales event in which all vendors are verified 360° fair trade companies.

We look forward to welcoming at least 285 participants to this year's event - our largest ever! We'll host leading fair trade speakers for discussions ranging from practical business advice to future trends and issues in the fair trade marketplace.

Louisville The 2017 conference and expo will be located at the Historic Seelbach Hilton Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. The Seelbach is located in downtown Louisville, walking distance from many attractions.

Our host city, Louisville, is a vibrant city with a rich cultural scene and a growing culinary reputation. It is also within a day’s drive of nearly half the U.S. population.
