Exhibiting & Advertising

Exhibiting is an easy and affordable way to market your company's name and products to conference attendees. Conference exhibitors will meet human service professionals, community advocates and partners, and kinship families (including caregivers, birth parents, and youth) who are eager to explore new thinking and new products. Exhibit areas are located in a hallway adjacent to workshops and the registration area. Conference attendees can browse the exhibits as they make their way to workshops and sessions. Coffee and afternoon breaks will be hosted in the exhibit area.

Past CWLA exhibitors include software companies, publishers, brokers, trainers, accreditors, and other organizations with a message for the leaders in child welfare. Exhibiting at CWLA is easy, effective, and rewarding. Interested in Sponsoring the conference? Explore your options. We have opportunities for nearly every organization and budget!
