Exhibitor Registration

The Association of Iowa Workforce Partners (AIWP) Annual Conference, now in its 14^th year, is the primary professional development opportunity for workforce professionals in Iowa and regularly draws over one hundred individuals each year. These professionals represent both management and frontline staff with workforce partners across the state of Iowa and will also draw representatives of the state and local workforce investment boards.

This year's theme is Rising to the Challenge: Meeting Tomorrow's Workforce Demands. Again this year, the conference will have a Youth Track, and, new this year, a track dedicated to serving other special populations, including individuals with disabilities, ex-offenders, and veterans, as well as a track focused on local workforce investment boards. The full agenda, session descriptions, and speaker biographies will be available here as they are finalized. Each year attendees are encouraged to complete an Exhibitor Bingo card for chances at prizes. These prizes are good, so they will visit you!

An exhibitor booth is $100 for a nonprofit and $150 for a for-profit business. A table, chairs, electrical outlet, and conference meals (lunch on Thursday, March 26, and breakfast on Friday, April 27) are provided for exhibitors. Up to two people per exhibiting organization may attend conference sessions at no extra charge.

Space is limited, so reserve your booth today! Reservations for exhibit space will be on a first-come, first-served basis. *Reserve by Friday, March 6, 2015, to be listed in the conference program.

Thank you for your interest!
