The exhibit area will open Wednesday morning, April 17 and close Thursday afternoon, April 18. Our 2019 conference is expected to draw over 400 attendees. The conference provides an exceptional forum to showcase your products and services to a highly targeted audience representing the buying power of state and local preparedness and business continuity personnel. For more details on the goals and audience of the PIEPC, please visit our website at www.. The enclosed information packet outlines the exhibit opportunities offered at the 2019 conference. A variety of events and refreshment offerings are planned to maximize traffic in the exhibit hall. These include: continental breakfast both mornings; Meet the Exhibitors reception on Wednesday evening; morning and afternoon breaks; and drawing for the Sponsors and Exhibitors Door Prizes on Wednesday evening. The Sponsor and Exhibitor Door Prize Drawing provides a great added incentive for attendees to visit the exhibits to validate their entry forms. Companies who donate door prizes receive extra visibility during the prize drawing at the Exhibitor Reception. We look forward to working with you and hope you will choose to participate in the largest and most successful regional emergency management conference in the Pacific Northwest.
