RE:   Calling All Vendors!

DATE: January 29, 2024


We are pleased to provide a Boutique at the Holiday Inn and Suites at Convention 2024.

 

Our intention last year was to set up in the atrium to maximize traffic. What we didn’t take into consideration was the impact it would have on the competitor traffic pattern. Consequently, we had to move the vendors down the corridor past the atrium.

 

This year, we are relocating Boutique into a meeting room off the atrium and will be providing signage in the hotel, directing shoppers to the Boutique. Better location, shuttle bussing pickup/drop off at the atrium door for improved customer traffic and one stop shop access to all vendors. It’s a win-win for vendors and shoppers alike!

 

Choruses and quartets are invited to rent a table. If you are a business owner or have a friend who might be interested, please share and consider booking a table.
