Certificates for conference participation will be awarded to all delegates who qualify through their attendance at the various educational sessions, showcases and exhibit halls.
While you’re in the exhibit halls, network with fellow students, book attractions for your campus events, or experience the latest cool novelty items! Every APCA Exhibit Hall will feature vendors (APCA member agencies, artists, speakers, etc.) representing the showcasing attractions. All exhibiting vendors are APCA members, and bound by APCA ethics and sensitivity guidelines. Conference exhibitors can be found in their booths during designated exhibit hall hours. They can answer questions, explain rider and contract terms, and generally give member schools all the information they need to bring an artist or service to their campus event. Typical booths will have bios, pictures, sample contracts and cooperative buying forms. APCA Exhibit Halls also have novelty showcases for you to enjoy. Novelty items are a popular part of the exhibit hall. Remember that you will not have time to visit all booths during one exhibit hall time. Make a plan to determine who you will visit each time.
