SADD Exhibit Hall Floor Plan …
Booths are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Check off your top three booth
preferences on the Exhibitor Application form which follows. Contact the SADD National office
for updated availability.

About the Exhibit Hall …
This year, the hall will be closed during general sessions but open during workshops, although
expect traffic to be very light at those times. We encourage exhibitors to attend all general
sessions as a way of additionally networking with conference participants and to check out
workshops of interest.
Interactive activity: Building on the success of last year’s treasure hunt, our Student
Leadership Council members have planned a special, interactive exhibit hall activity for
Tuesday afternoon which will be fun and drive additional traffic to your booth!
Offer a contest or giveaway: We strongly recommend exhibitors offer a contest,
interactive activity, raffle drawing, and/or giveaway(s) at their booths to more
successfully engage youth and adult participants alike. We can make arrangements for
our emcee to share related announcements at key times about prize drawings, etc.
Focus Group Option: If you are interested in facilitating a focus group session this year,
there is an additional fee of $75. Participant recruitment would be your responsibility;
however, we can provide space to accommodate a small group which we would limit to
one focus group at breakfast or lunch Monday or Tuesday, after students have eaten.
Focus group requests will be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The Exhibit Hall is not a lockable space; exhibitors are responsible for their belongings.
