After submitting your RSVP Form:

  • AzLA will complete the Conference registrations for the Vendor Representatives.
  • If applicable, AzLA will send you an invoice for:
    • Your Vendor Participation Package
    • Additional Vendor Representatives
  • Leading up to the Conference, AzLA will be in touch regarding  planning updates.
  • Onsite, we are looking forward to implementing new experiences for all --- from the onsite registration process, to the Virtual Experience Room, to the inaugural Exclusive Marketplace Connection!



What to Expect Onsite


What Will the Room Look Like?

  • The Connection Events will be in the same place as the expo hall in previous years.
  • Instead of booths - Vendors & Provider Decision-Makers will meet at 6-foot rectangular tables.
  • The tables will be assigned onsite to each Vendor Organization using table-top stanchions (like reserved signs at the Awards Luncheon.)
  • The Tables will line the perimeter of the room.
  • Round tables will be set up close by for meals, the reception, and networking opportunities.


What Will My Table Look Like?

  • Each table will have hotel tablecloth & skirting, 2 chairs on one side for the Vendor Reps, and 2 chairs on the other side for Provider Decision-Makers.
  • There will be NO electricity available for each table. 
  • We want to keep the table settings simple – this is not an exhibit hall, not the place for flashy tablecloths or signs that may obstruct the view of the person across the table.
  • It is advised to keep your table clear of distractions. All you may need on your table are your business cards, and marketing material.  (Keep in mind, we will be pre-stuffing attendee bags with vendor gifts and marketing material items sent to us by May 3.)
  • Not permitted:
  • Floor signs
  • Custom tablecloths
  • Monitors
  • Items on your table higher than 12 inches
  • Cardboard boxes in view - on, or near your table
  • Any other items on the floor near your table


What Will the Atmosphere Be?

  • This simple format and landscape allows for intimate, one-on-one, focused conversations.
  • The time of the Exclusive Marketplace Connection is limited. The emphasis will be on the cultivation of the Connection of vendors and decision-makers. 
  • Much like speed-dating, this is an opportunity for vendors and decision-makers to “interview” each other; vendors learning of decision-makers needs, and decision-makers learning of possible solutions to their everyday needs. 
  • The Exclusive Marketplace Connection events are exclusive; offering intimate, bonding, and unique experiences for all participants; thus creating Limitless Connections.
