WELCOME BACK SPONSORS, ADVERTISERS, & EXHIBITORS Please remember that our exhibitors’ fair and advertising space are limited, so please act now to secure a space!

The 2013 NOFA Vermont Winter Conference marks 31 years of conference history – and there has never been a better time to align your business with the 1,500+ organic farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders who flock to this landmark event.

This is a perfect opportunity for businesses and nonprofits alike to reach a receptive, targeted audience while supporting the growth of this vital movement. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!

Whether your goal is to increase exposure of your business, develop new contacts, or financially support the NOFA movement, we hope you’ll join us in this effort by partnering with us as a sponsor, exhibitor, and/or advertiser.

You spoke – we listened! After digesting feedback from last year’s attendees and exhibitors alike, we are excited to restructure our sponsorship benefits, create a two-tier exhibitor fair, expand our conference mixer in the exhibitors’ area, and offer a special early lunch to exhibitors – all while retaining our small, personable exhibitor environment.

EXHIBITORS’ FAIR DETAILS Unlike many trade shows, our exhibitors’ fair has an intimate, friendly atmosphere. Our two-room layout allows for more exhibiting space and gives you a choice of price options; sponsor exhibitors will always receive priority placement in Area 1.

Please note that our exhibitors’ fair sells out every year and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We cannot accommodate groups that would like to share tables. t .BJO FOUSBODF FYJU UP XPSLTIPQT BEKBDFOU UP FYIJCJUPS BSFB t /0'" T )PTQJUBMJUZ 5BCMF XJUI DPNQMJNFOUBSZ TOBDLT MPDBUFE BEKBDFOU UP FYIJCJUPS BSFB t &YIJCJUPST 'BJS CSPXTJOH UJNF CVJMU JOUP UIF DPOGFSFODF TDIFEVMF t 4BUVSEBZ FWFOJOH QSF EJOOFS DPOGFSFODF NJYFS JO FYIJCJUPS BSFB XJUI CFFS XJOF BOE NVMUJQMF GPPE TUBUJPOT
