Conference Attendee List:
A list of conference attendees that have registered to date will be emailed to you on a weekly basis, beginning February 14. We hope that this list will help you in preparing for the conference where you will have ample opportunity to network with the attendees at all of the social events, conference sessions and networking breaks.
Packages and Shipping Information
If you will be shipping exhibit materials or literature to the hotel, please mark them to your attention with your arrival date and ship it so that it will arrive no earlier than Friday, March 9. We have a special area designated at the hotel for our conference materials to be placed, along with sponsor materials. The hotel address is: Green Valley Ranch Resort, ATTN: Guest’s Name, CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council Conference March 14-17, 2300 Paseo Verde Parkway, Henderson, NV 89052, Telephone: 702-617-7777
Attire
Attendees are instructed to dress in business casual attire. You have the option of business casual or business attire.
Display Tables and Exhibit Hours
The exhibit areas provide a formal setting for partners to display and demonstrate their respective offerings. All available spots have been filled. Each partner that has paid the additional fee will have a six-foot table. We encourage you to bring your own displays as long as they do not take up more than the six feet of allocated space. You can replace the six-foot table with a six-foot display if you wish.
Hours of operation:
We do not have formal hours of operation, but suggest that you be at your display table during breakfasts, refreshment breaks, and any time that sessions are not being held. As a partner, you are invited to all meal functions, social events, and conference sessions. We encourage you to use this time to attend sessions and mingle with the credit union attendees to hear the questions being asked and the topics being discussed to evaluate services you can provide.
Location of Display Tables:
Registration for the conference will be located in the Grand Ballroom Foyer, and the display tables will be located in two rooms directly next to the registration area (across the hall from each other) in Del Mar I & II, and Grand III & IV. We will have the food and beverages for the breakfasts and breaks and the Internet stations for attendees to check emails in one of the rooms, and the silent auction items and ATM machine in the other room to drive traffic into the rooms. I think you will be pleased with the amount of attendee interaction.
Setup and Dismantle
On Wednesday, March 14th, the conference registration desk will open, beginning at 7:30 a.m. Please check in at the registration desk for your conference materials. You should plan on setting up your display table on either Tuesday between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. or Wednesday between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. There will be an identification sign on your assigned table.
