For Exhibitors

The Right Fit

Boutique style, featuring a select number of exhibitors, our expos offer local small business owners the opportunity to invest in an experience that brings real results.

A standard booth space measures 8' in width by 6' in depth. Need more room to shine? Premium spaces also available.

Each exhibitor footprint includes a standard 6' banquet table, linen and two chairs.  -No pipe & drape, as we wish to create an open and welcoming atmosphere.  But you're encouraged to customize and spotlight your own polish & flair:  feel free to bring signature linens, freestanding backdrop, signage, uplighting or accent pieces. 

Guidance & Support

Our experienced team provides final logistics for the event ten days prior, but if you have questions that arise at anytime leading up to, during or after the event we're just a phone call, email or text away. We're committed to offering substantive communication, and pride ourselves on producing events that are streamlined, highly productive, and FUN!

Your Bridge to Awesome Clients

We strive to create events that promote quality conversations. Get ready to meet qualified couples who are eager to find professionals like you, who support non-discrimination and want to connect with those who are like-minded.

Building Relationships

Each exhibitor is provided with a full contact list,  the week following the show, from couples who opt-in to follow-up communication.
