You are invited to participate in the 2004 APWA Spring Conference and Trade Show by providing a two-day technical and educational display on Wednesday, May 5, from Noon - 5:00 pm and Thursday, May 6th, from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm.

Exhibits may be set up on Tuesday starting at noon. An exhibitor-hosted social will be held Wednesday evening from 6:30 – 9:00 pm in the Convention Center. You are encouraged to attend the Social, if possible, as it will provide an additional opportunity to meet with all the Conference attendees. Although the exhibit area closes Thursday night, you are asked to attend and support the Banquet Thursday evening from 7:00 – 10:00 pm and Awards Luncheon on Friday at Noon. Information related to costs for these events is included on the Exhibitor Registration form.

The Exhibitor-Hosted Social Wednesday evening, as well as the morning and afternoon refreshment breaks on Wednesday and Thursday, will be held in the exhibit areas to draw all the attendees into the exhibition center. We encourage you to register early as exhibit space is limited and reservation requests will be filled on a first received, first served basis. An exhibitor registration fee of $325.00 provides you with a draped 8 ft. table for a tabletop display with power and access to all the technical sessions and refreshments in the exhibit area. A floor plan of the exhibit area is enclosed. A lot for outdoor exhibit space is available at this conference, and arrangements should be made by contacting Nancy with the City of Warrenton at 503-861-0914. There is no additional charge for outdoor space.

All inside booths will have access to electrical power, however, you should bring your own extension cords. Should you require a telephone jack at your booth, please make those arrangements directly with Nancy (503-861-0914). If you need to ship display/promotional items in advance of your arrival, contact Nancy (503-861-0914) for proper shipping instructions.

Overnight accommodations, golf tournament and meals are not included in the exhibitor registration fee. When making your hotel reservation, let the registration desk know that you are with the APWA Spring Conference. General registration information is included on this website.

You do not need to register for the Conference to be an exhibitor. If you would like to participate in the Conference, a separate registration form will need to be completed and returned with a check payable to Oregon APWA Spring Conference. Please mail your exhibitor registration Forms with your check to Rick Olson, SPEC Industries Inc. P.O. Box 40337, Eugene, OR 97404-0049

Full registration and check payment must accompany your registration form to reserve a space. No purchase orders or fax registrations will be accepted. A confirmation letter will be faxed or mailed to you prior to the conference. Meals may be purchased on the exhibitor registration form, however, if you are playing in the golf tournament, complete the golf tournament registration information on the Conference registration form and include it with the exhibitor form.

DOOR PRIZES – As exhibitors, we sponsor the reception and breaks during the Conference. As in the past, the exhibitors provide door prizes during the various breaks to help increase the attendance of the delegates. Please bring a door prize that can be used in one of the drawings. This will bring added exposure to your company and help us increase the involvement of the delegates. Please indicate on your registration form how your company will assist. This can be an item or cash. At the last conference, several $50 prizes and one $100 prize were provided, in addition to jackets, mugs and other promotional items.

Since this Conference is on the beautiful Oregon Coast, we expect another large turnout like we did at the past conference. We have, therefore, maintained the increased exhibition space and number of booths to allow more of you the opportunity to exhibit your firms and products before this important group of Public Works Agencies from all around the State.

If you have any questions regarding the exhibitor registration, please contact Rick Olson or Tonia Porter at (541) 689-5523 or by email at Tporter15@hotmail.com .We look forward to seeing you at the Conference!

Sincerely,
