SPONSORSHIP, ADVERTISING, & EXHIBITING INFORMATION

ST

The 2013 NOFA Vermont Winter Conference marks 31 years of conference history – and there has never been a better time to align your business with the 1,500+ organic farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders who !ock to this landmark event.

Whether your goal is to increase exposure of your business, develop new contacts, or "nancially support the NOFA movement, we hope you’ll join us in this e#ort by partnering with us as a sponsor, exhibitor, and/or advertiser.

You spoke – we listened! After digesting feedback from last year’s attendees and exhibitors alike, we are excited to restructure our sponsorship bene"ts, create a two-tier exhibitor fair, expand our conference mixer in the exhibitors’ area, and o#er a special early lunch to exhibitors – all while retaining our small, personable exhibitor environment.

Please remember that our exhibitors’ fair and advertising space are limited, so please act now to secure a space!

This is a perfect opportunity for businesses and nonpro"ts alike to reach a receptive, targeted audience while supporting the growth of this vital movement. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!
