2011 Conference Vendor and Workshop Opportunities
March 2011
Hello friend!
This is an invitation for you to join Colorado’s finest Career and Technical Educators at the 2011 Colorado Association for Career and Technical Education (CACTE) Summer Conference. The Conference will be held July 18-21, 2011, at the Loveland Embassy Suites in Loveland, Colorado.
This year we have a unique opportunity to focus on our new CTE educators. You will meet approximately 250 -300 career and technical education teachers and administrators from ten CACTE divisions to expand your network of contacts, display your products and services, and enjoy a receptive audience. To meet your needs, all divisions will meet at the Loveland Hotel and are required to schedule 30 to 45 minutes explicitly for their division to attend the Exhibitor Trade Show. This visiting time is in addition to general break times and a vendor round-table session, all designed to allow you plenty of time to meet with CACTE members. We will have a new division in the area of STEM and the Arts and would like to provide them as much exposure to your special professional development and services.
The Trade Show will run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Tuesday, July 19 and 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Wednesday, July 20. As always, we will accommodate exhibitors on a first come basis and will do our best to accommodate each one of you. The deadline to receive your application and payment is June 1, 2011. Due to moving to a new hotel we will have more space and break out rooms available for special training if you would like to provide this to attendees. Please contact me for these special needs and requests.
The link to the left contains the detailed information you need in order to join us this summer. Please note that in addition to exhibit space, we are also looking for sponsors for various activities at our conference. You will see the list on the Trade Show Application. Since we keep our exhibit fee low, we would really appreciate your consideration of a sponsorship for one of the events. With rising hotel and food costs, we are finding it even more difficult to provide these important events at our conference. We will recognize any sponsorship(s) in our program and at one of the General Sessions. ANY help you can give us will be very much appreciated!
We also ask each exhibitor to donate a gift for the CACTE Fund raiser that supports our Professional Development Scholarship fund for educators. Your gift will be displayed and identified with promotional credit in the exhibit area, and your company will be recognized when the prize is awarded!
Thank you for your support of Career and Technical Education! We look forward to working with you. For any additional information, or special requests, please contact me at the information below:
Look forward to seeing you at the 2011 CACTE Conference!
