We are expecting a big turnout at our exciting upcoming fall conference at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, VA , November 10-13 (Exhibit Hall open Nov. 11-13). We would be delighted if you would like to sponsor an event, take out an advertisement, and/or exhibit at our conference. This year, we’ll be holding our all-conference reception at the amazing Torpedo Factory.

Thank you for for helping to support our region with your contribution of time, energy, wisdom and also financial assistance. Without all of these contributions we wouldn’t be able to offer first-rate conferences that are so valuable to our membership.

Silent Auction, Tweet Up, and Closing Ceremony

This year you are encouraged to donate a basket of goodies to be auctioned off at our Silent Auction to raise funds for the region in support of travel grants. And if you’d rather not donate something as large as a basket of goodies, please consider bringing along a smaller gift for the region to give away at our third annual tweet up or our closing Town Hall Meeting. With this type of gift, you can promote your brand and help the region at the same time.
