Proposal Assistance for NASPP Conference Exhibitors

The NASPP's Proposal Assistance Program makes exhibiting at the Conference even more valuable. All exhibitors at the 20^th Annual NASPP Conference will qualify for assistance with their speaking proposals for the 2013 NASPP Conference.

The assistance available to Conference exhibitors includes:

Preliminary feedback on proposal topics, including which topics are most likely to be accepted.
Tips on how exhibitors can make their proposals more compelling.
Advance notice of the proposal submission period.
Assistance with identifying issuers and other speakers to participate in proposed panels.

The Proposal Assistance Program will provide exhibitors with the feedback necessary to strengthen their speaking proposals and focus their efforts on topics that are of most interest to the NASPP, giving exhibitors a clear advantage over non-exhibitors in the proposal selection process. In addition, if none of an exhibitor's proposals are accepted, the NASPP will consider the exhibitor's representatives for placement on other panels.

In past years, nearly 100% of firms that have participated in the Proposal Assistance Program have been accepted to speak at the NASPP Conference; only about 30% of proposals submitted by firms that don't participate in the program are accepted.

This is a great opportunity for exhibitors that are interested in speaking at the 2013 NASPP Conference. Don't miss out—we are currently offering this program to all exhibitors but, in future years we may limit the program to Conference sponsors.

Sign up for a booth in the NASPP Conference Exhibit Hall today to secure your eligibility for the Proposal Assistance Program. For more information on exhibiting at the NASPP Conference, see the Exhibitor Brochure, email naspp@naspp.com, or call (925) 685-9271.

Note: We are no longer accepting speaking proposals for the 20^th Annual NASPP Conference; exhibitors at the 20^th Annual NASPP Conference will receive assistance with their speaking proposals for the NASPP Conference that will be held in 2013.
