SECC Youth Ministries is in the process of accepting submissions for exhibitors/sponsors for this upcoming event.  There are two ways that you can be an exhibitor/sponsor.  The first and more benefical option would be to become a Partner in Ministry (P.I.M.).  As a P.I.M., we are asking for $3,000.  The benefits of this include the following:

1. Your ministry logo in our posters and participant handbooks.
2. 7-10 minutes of face time during one of our general sessions.
3. Two vendor spaces
4. Two admission tickets that will include meals/refreshments in our general sessions and access to over 100 seminars; additional persons will be subject to registration cost.

The second option would be to host a vendor booth in our Exhibit Hall.  This would cost $295.  The benefits of this would include the following:

1. One single table display
2. One admission ticket that will include meals/refreshments in our general sessions and access to over 100 seminars; additional persons will be subject to registration costs.

Whichever your choose, your company will have the opportunity to interact with over 800 leaders from SECC and other surrounding conferences. 

When submitting a request to be an exhibitor/sponsor, you must read and agree to the Terms and Conditions.  Sign and submit by faxing to (951) 509-2399.  Because of the limited space, SECC Youth Ministries reserves the right to deny requests we feel does not benefit the leaders attending this event.
