2007 IADDA
Annual Conference
Exhibitor Information
Why Should You Be An Exhibitor?
Conference exhibiting or sponsorship
are ways to showcase your organization’s technologies, products and services to
substance abuse professionals, managers, staff and decision-makers. Exhibiting and sponsorship creates exposure
for your organization, provides an opportunity to broaden your contact with
substance abuse professionals, allows you to discuss your message and services
face-to-face with these professionals and assists you in increasing your
awareness of new trends and pressing concerns in the Illinois addictions field.
