Vendor Information

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Keystone Conference.  Below is information concerning vendor and advertising rates. 

Vendor tables and space is limited so please register early.  Also, the earlier you register, the earlier we can post information about your business/services to our attendees!  Your vendor registration fee includes free listing on the Keystone Conference website describing your products and/or services as well as a link to your website.  Although we list all participating vendor names in the 2010 Keystone Conference program booklet, we highly suggest in placing an ad to maximize your presence during the conference.

Don't forget to enjoy yourself, too!  Vendors and their associates are invited to the receptions held each night.  If you would like to join us for the other evening activities, please indicate in the Miscellaneous section of the online form what activities you would like to participate in. 

You may also want to consider becoming an official sponsor of the 2010 Keystone Conference.  To recognize the benevolence of our sponsors, we announce and thank each by name at our luncheons; mention and thank each of our sponsors on the Benevolence/Sponsor page in the program booklet; include a full-page black & white ad (or $50 credit towards a color ad) in our program booklet as well as allow you the opportunity to include any additional advertising material in our registration packet.  This important program provides the funds necessary to support the conference activities as well as scholarship money for those who need it.  General Sponsorships are only $200.
