In addition to a multitude of vendors displaying services and products to enhance the services you provide and the agencies you serve, the Training & Conference Committee has planned special events in the hall.

Opening Reception
On Monday, October 6, the Exhibit Hall Opening Reception begins at 5:00 p.m. You are invited to join us for light hors d’oeuvres and beverages. The reception provides attendees the first opportunity to meet with exhibitors and offers valuable network time with colleagues. The Exhibit Hall opening precedes the Networking Reception in the Alpine Room.

Refreshments
On Tuesday coffee and tea is available in Exhibit Hall during the morning hours beginning at 8:00 a.m. The registration booth is staffed when the hall is open, as is the Continuing Education (CEU) registration table. On Monday and Wednesday, coffee and tea is available in the Seasons Lobby on the 4th floor of the conference center. PCPA extends thanks to Askesis Development Group, Pittsburgh, and Staffing Plus, Haverford, for sponsoring the coffee breaks

Grand Prize Giveaway
On Monday and Tuesday in addition to visiting with exhibitors and learning about products and services of use to your company, exhibitors can assist you in participating in the 2008 exhibitor game. Participants who successfully complete the activity are eligible to participate in the grand prize drawing held Wednesday during the Ice Cream Social. PCPA thanks member Community Education Centers, Inc., West Caldwell, NJ, for their sponsorship of the grand prize - $1,000 in airline travel good anywhere American Airlines flies.

Exhibitor Lunch Munch
Looking for lunch following a busy morning? Exhibit Hall is the place to be! In what is a highlight of the conference week, participants are invited to join our vendors in Exhibit Hall to discuss business opportunities and eat lunch during Tuesday’s Exhibitor Lunch Munch at 12:15 p.m.! Ample seating is available. Feast on an array of lunch foods while you make connections with exhibitors. The PAC Silent Auction and Scramble is open. Tickets are also on sale for the PACPot drawing. PCPA thanks endorsed vendor Brown and Brown Insurance of the Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem, for their sponsorship.

Ice Cream Break/Exhibitor Giveaways
Don’t miss this event that closes Exhibit Hall for 2008. With one last opportunity to meet with exhibitors, conference attendees are invited to the hall on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. to build their own ice cream sundae and join in the fun of prize giveaways from exhibitors. During exhibit hours on Monday and Tuesday many vendors provide guests with the opportunity to participate in drawings for special prizes. Make sure you come back to the hall one last time to learn if you have won a gift from one of our exhibitors! The PACPot drawing, grand prize drawing, and Silent Auction winners will also be announced.
