Dear conference exhibitors, we have some good news for you. Because our conference is online, all the speed and convenience of online marketing and selling will apply in our Virtual Exhibitor Hall.

Consider these features for 2021:

• The cost of having a booth at the 2021 conference has dropped by $200 (more than 40%) compared to 2020.
• Attendees have 102 hours of booth access over 6 days
• You can offer promotional materials to our virtual “swag bag” like online coupons, an ebook, or a free trial of services. It will be easy to track usage and follow up afterwards.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to connect with spiritual companions from around the world!

We are working with an event management app called Whova that offers some really compelling opportunities for exhibitors to reach more people, and have an even greater return on your investment.  SDI will set up a centralized location on the event website for a “virtual exhibitor hall” where attendees to browse exhibits, ask questions, and make purchases, and where you can gather leads.

Our attendees are spiritually literate, open-minded, health and wholeness oriented, spiritual companions. This includes

• directores espirituales y guías
• líderes religiosos (imames, pastores, rabinos)
• capellanes
• trabajadores sanitarios
• activistas
• escritores
• maestros y educadores
• artistas
• life coaches

What will your virtual booth be like? 

• Each exhibitor will get a profile with space for a head shot, photos, videos, a poster and/or a logo. It will be easy for attendees to ask questions and get more information from you.
• It will be easy for you to upload videos, even hold virtual coffee chats while live streaming
• You can showcase your products or your offerings and build connections with attendees through the virtual meetups option. You can even host a virtual leisure activities, like a wellness class or make a presentation. (These would not be sponsored by SDI, but you can arrange their own Zoom space for people to learn more about their product or offering and promote it at your booth)
• You can offer promotional materials to our virtual “swag bag” like online coupons, an ebook, or a free trial of services. It will be easy to track usage and follow up afterwards.
• You can create promotional offers and advertise these offers through your virtual booth.
• This event will be FUN! One game that we may organize is the “passport” game, which will allow attendees to collect virtual stamps to their passport when they interact with you at your booths. Or each exhibitor can host a “challenge” relating to your organization or product, and attendees get points for completing the challenge. Fun!

Additional benefits of going virtual…

• You’ll have access to some really helpful data about our attendees. We’ll teach you how to browse the attendee list and their profiles, and this will help you target relevant people. You can even send them private messages.
• Unlike a table at an in-person conference, your exhibitor profile will stay open for weeks after the conference, allowing attendees to go back and reach out to booths they missed during the event itself.
• There are lots of open booth hours! Significant un-programmed breaks are worked into the conference schedule during which time attendees are encouraged to browse exhibitor booths, but they can visit you anytime because the booths will be open and available 24/7 during the conference, not just during the active “conference hours.” So even during the early morning and late evening/night, people can still access the exhibitor booths and view their videos, download promotional material, etc. (Like people in different time zones in the US and overseas.) We estimate about 102 hours of Booth Availability and about 51 hours of planned programming over 6 days.

Pricing:

We are lowering our exhibitor booth pricing from $499 (non-members) or $399 (members) to $299 for anyone, per booth, for 6 days of conference time in 2021.
