2018—Call to Service
2018 AMEN Exhibitor Information
Although exhibits are not a major focus of the AMEN conference, we encourage ministry-minded organizations to have a booth. The AMEN program committee attempts to provide ample time and exposure to make it advantageous for you.
Exhibitor Approval
Exhibitor space is limited and the AMEN board of directors determines final approval of all exhibit submissions. You will be informed within 10 business days if there are any concerns with your booth or it is not approved. If, for any reason, your booth is not approved, you will receive a prompt & full refund of your registration fee.
Exhibit Location
The exhibit hall is adjacent to the general sessions, and is actually in a section of the same ballroom, separated from the general sessions by an airwall. When you register as an exhibitor you will see a note to select your booth space. Click on that link and a diagram will appear showing available & sold spaces.
If you have questions please contact Rebecca Barnhurst at: barnhurst@amensda.org.
Fee
Exhibitor pricing starts at $400 for AMEN Members and $500. This fee includes full registration for one person including their meals and attendance to all meetings. Exhibit assistants can register at the guest rate of $250 (which will include full conference registration & meals).
Exhibit Space
Each exhibitor will have approximately 8-10 feet of space, a 6’ covered table and two chairs. There is no curtain backdrop or piping separating the spaces. Please be considerate of the exhibitor next to you.
Please note: nothing can be posted on, taped, nailed, screwed or otherwise attached to columns, walls, floors or other parts of the building or furniture.
Electricity
Access to electricity at your booth space is included in the price. However, you will need to bring your own extension cords, etc.

Sabbath Exhibits
AMEN’s mission is to restore Christ’s ministry of healing to the world. As Seventh-day Adventists we believe Sabbath is a day of worship and rest. We also believe Christ wants us to work for, and glorify Him on the Sabbath. Therefore we ask exhibitors who choose to be at their booths on Sabbath to view it as a time to forward the work of The Lord of the Sabbath. Please refrain from any commercial activity during Sabbath hours. Thank you!
Safety
The hotel and/or AMEN are not responsible for the safety of your equipment, materials, etc. at your booth. Therefore please decide what you are comfortable leaving out and what you need to take back to your room and lock up at night or during other times you may not be at your exhibit. We certainly do not anticipate any problems but want to remind you that safety is your responsibility.
