Good day!


The 2024 PBA Marketplace will be hosted by Happy Valley Adventure Bureau at the Nittany Sports Centre in beautiful State College on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. 

We are offering a full-day of professional development on Monday, March 25, 2024, the day before Marketplace; Intro to Marketplace Seminar and a NEW Best Practices Roundtable discussion for experienced Marketplace attendees. 


When registering, choose Intro to Marketplace Seminar (no booth on the form). The cost is $75 to attend the Intro Seminar. The Best Practices Roundtable Discussion for experienced marketplace attendees is complimentary. If you have already registered for a Marketplace booth and want to attend one of these sessions, please contact us and we will help get you registered.


There will be plenty of time to setup and hotel check-in afterwards, so we encourage you to register.

A Sponsorship is a great way to promote your organization! There are still some sponsorships available, plus advertising available in the Marketplace Directory.


The following three (3) sponsorships are still available:


SILVER Sponsor #1 - Inside Front Cover Ad $700.00

Inside Front full-page ad in Marketplace Directory.
