Denver bids you welcome to the 2008 National Performing Arts Convention, the bigger, better, all-together marketing opportunity that you simply cannot afford to miss. Make plans to exhibit now!
The Exhibit Schedule has changed slightly—please make sure to check the new schedule, posted below. The schedule on this webpage is the most current information.
To include your company's logo and website in the online exhibitor listing, please e-mail them to logos@performingartsconvention.org with the subject line "For NPAC exhibit listing online." Your company logo must be JPG or GIF format and no larger than 150 pixels wide by 100 pixels in height to be accepted. Allow up to one business week for your logo to be added. We reserve the right to resize your logo if necessary.
I want to exhibit BenefitsAll-together? Is that a typo? Not at all. You will, in fact, be all together: there will be one exhibit area in the Colorado Convention Center, the central location for the majority of convention events, including all interest sessions and plenaries for the 5,000 attendees.
And it is central: the Convention Center is within walking distance of all the host hotels and the Denver Performing Arts Complex, where the featured performances will take place.
Well, it's not technically a search engine, but the NPAC website will receive millions of hits in the months leading up to the event. Your logo and link on this Exhibitors page will act as a direct funnel for interested parties. This is a list you want to be on!
In addition, every delegate will receive the convention program book, which will include the Exhibitor and Sponsor Directory. Your full contact information and a brief descriptive paragraph are guaranteed to be included when you register by the April 11, 2008 deadline.
Half the business of exhibiting at a convention is done before you even arrive at the hall itself. One month prior to NPAC, all registered exhibitors will receive a mailing list of all delegates, sorted by discipline. That list will be updated following the convention and re-distributed. Who's on that list? Executive directors, artistic directors, company managers, board presidents, composers, performing arts presenters, and more: the primary decision-makers, the purse-string holders, your target audience, 5,000 strong.
