We are looking for presenters for our conference. If you present a session, you will receive free registration to our conference. We are also looking for people interested in hosting a booth.

To present at the conference, please apply here. 

Additionally, we will have booth space available to reserve for the Career and Resource Fair. Each booth will be provided a table and two chairs. There is no cost to reserve a booth. However, we request each booth provide at least one give away for a door prize. This is a great opportunity for agencies who are hiring to solicit for applications. It is also a great opportunity for businesses who target counselors to set up to reach this targeted population.
