18th Annual MINNIVAN Spring Conference April 27th, 2023
To Industry Representatives:
MINNIVAN, Minnesota association of Vascular Access Network, would like to invite you to participate in our 18th annual Spring Conference Vendor Fair Thursday, April 27th. The conference will be held at:
Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington
3900 American Blvd. West
Bloomington, MN 55437
This year we hope to exceed that number as we continue to reach out to Vascular Access and Infusion Therapy Professionals, Physicians, Critical Care Nurses, Dialysis nurses and ER staff.
We are still in the planning process of our conference and looking to fill our speaker slots. If you have a speaker or a topic that you are interested in sponsoring, please reach out to us to secure a spot for your speaker. By doing this you become an Elite sponsor, receive free advertising for our event, enjoy complimentary prime vendor space at our Vendor Exhibit and have access to attend the speaker sessions.
If you want to help sponsor our conference, but do not have a speaker or topic to promote, you can also earn elite status and prime vendor space through sponsorship of the continental breakfast or buffet lunch that will be provided. The sponsor of our breakfast or lunch will also be given prime complimentary display space in the exhibit hall (described below) and gain access to attend all the educational sessions. Recognition for your company’s sponsorship of our event will be advertised as previously described and will also be posted on the buffet table. Please let us know if you are interested in being an elite vendor by sponsoring the continental breakfast or lunch buffet. We will start advertising the conference in late February and want to make sure all our elite sponsors are listed on our advertising materials. To sponsor either one of the meals or a speaker, please reach out to us by emailing the Minnivan Board at info.minnivan@gmail.com or gbaldwin@mcimedical.net at one of the below email addresses:
If you are unable to sponsor a speaker, but would like to participate in the Vendor Exhibit, you can purchase a vendor table to promote your products or services. The Vendor Exhibit will be from 11:30am – 1:30 pm on Thursday, April 27th. You can set up as early as 7:30 am if you would like, but the Exhibit will not be opened until 11:00am. As we have in the past and to promote attendees to wander through the vendor exhibit and ensure that you receive plenty of visitors to your product displays, we will be providing each attendee with a “Bingo” card. We ask that as the attendees visit your table to view your product displays, you stamp their Bingo card. We will provide you with the stamp. The attendees will be able to turn their completed Bingo card in for raffle prizes that will be drawn at the end of the conference. The vendor Bingo has proven to be a great success over the last few years. We received a lot of positive feedback from our vendors who attended and from our attendees.
The Vendor Exhibit fee is $500.00. You will be provided with one 6ft long table which will be spaced to allow for floor signage and any equipment you may have. Please register for a vendor table and your vendor attendance tickets by April 15th at: Minnivan.wildapricot.org under the ‘Vendor Fair’ event
