VENDORS

VENDORS,

The 2021 Region II EMS Directors Association annual conference will be held November 4-5, 2021 at the Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg, TN.  As you may recall, the 2020 conference was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The 2021 conference is expected to proceed with observation of any local, state, and federal guidelines in place for COVID-19 at the time of the conference. The 2019 conference saw almost 300 attendees and an additional 35 vendors.  We are planning for similar numbers for the 2021 conference.  Deadline for vendor registration and payment is October 1, 2021 to allow time for appropriate signage and advertising to be printed according to sponsorship.

Vendor Locations:

• Vendors will be set up in 2 large rooms and in the large hallway connecting to the conference area

• Vehicle vendors will be in large exhibit hall (see separate vehicle fee schedule) and in the outside space near the rear hallway doors

  • Indoor vehicle display space limited to 8 vehicles (ambulances preferred)

  • Indoor spaces (1 per vendor) are committed to vendors that send in their registration with payment in order received.

  • If the 8 indoor spaces are not confirmed by October 1, the remaining spaces will be made available and will require an additional fee; if one vendor requests display of more than one vehicle an additional fee will also be required.

  • Region II EMS Directors Association will have the final say as to the appropriateness of any vehicle.

Vendor set-up:

• Wednesday, November 3, set-up will be available 5:00pm to 7:00pm

• Thursday, November 4, set-up will be available beginning at 6:30am

Vendor space cost:

• Each space is $400 – includes 1 table, electrical available

• Additional tables available for $50/each
