Exhibitor Registration

Here are a few of the activities that will be taking place at the 2010 Expo:

• Location – Oregon Convention Center • Halls A & B. Double the size of the space for 2010!
• Green Event – We are proud to say that the Expo is a green Event! Our pre-Expo communication is via email, we use a green facility – Oregon Convention Center (www.oregoncc.org/pdf/occ_recyclingreport.pdf), we reuse our signage from year to year, we recycle, and we cut down on our electrical use by using a generator for many of the demos and asking exhibitors if they need electrical.
• Where Does Your Money Go? – The money you pay for your booth and/or sponsorship dollars are used to pay for the expenses of this Expo, however 40% of these expenses are used to pay for school expenses to bring the students to the Expo. The Expo pays for the buses and substitutes for schools that need these expenses paid for in order to bring their students to the Expo.
• Working Throughout the Year with Youth – The Expo has a partnership with Portland Workforce Alliance and with that partnership and funds from the Expo, we are working with youth throughout the year to introduce them to potential pathways for their future. This includes plant tours, mock interviews in the schools, classes on preparing for an interview and completing an application, and much more.
• Demonstrations – Bulk areas on the exhibit hall floor for exhibitors to do hands-on demonstrations or demonstrations in exhibitor booths. Students love to be able to do activities and touch and feel the products your company makes.
• Sponsorship Opportunities – There are many sponsorship opportunities available. See separate form for the list of Sponsorship Opportunities. This is a great way to get your company in front of the students and get more exposure for your company.
• Mock Interviews – In 2009, Portland Human Resource Management Association (PHRMA) and Oregon Staffing Association (OSA) professionals did mock interviews with over 1,100 students. This is a great opportunity for the students to receive direct input from human resource professionals about interviewing. PHRMA and OSA are also at the Expo to help students with writing a resume and completing a job application.
