On behalf of the Ontario Forensic Investigators Association, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate as an exhibitor at our 2024  5th Annual Training and Educational Conference. This conference will be held at the DoubleTree Resort & Spa, 6039 Fallsview Blvd, Niagara Falls, Ontario.
 

The conference will run from April 30th - May 3rd 2024
Vendor set up will be available on April 30th between 5 – 7 pm.
Vendor area will be open for delegates on May 1st  from 8am – 5pm, and May 2nd from 8am – 2pm.

Vendor tear down will occur on May 2nd after 2pm.

The Premium tier, is located in the Atrium and is where lunch and snacks are mostly served.  The cost for a booth in this area is $1500.00
 
The Standard tier, is located in the Vendor Hall off of the Atrium.  This room will have coffee/snacks served for delegates.  The cost for a booth in this area is $1200.00
 
The creation of the tiered system is in direct response to feedback provided from vendors in previous follow up surveys and we hope that this system will help with addressing the concerns previous vendor has conveyed to us.

Our conference is an excellent opportunity for your company to demonstrate interest and support in all areas of forensic investigation, including Crime Scene and Collision Reconstruction. Your company can showcase products and services to law enforcement officers and forensic specialists from across Ontario, Canada and beyond.

The exhibitor’s fees and entitlements are as follows:
$1500 (Premium) / $1200 (Standard) (Cdn) per Display Space in the Exhibitor Hall.
 
Each display space includes:
Approximate 6’ x 8’ Display Space
Each Display Space will include a draped table, 2 chairs and electrical power if required (extension cords are your responsibility).
Main Hall and/or Hospitality Suite Sign
Company Logo and optional banners on the OFIA ClearEvent platform and OFIA website”
ClearEvent does not currently support a virtual booth, but OFIA will create specific pages to support vendors, which could include a "Special Offer Page" or "Giveaways", etc. Where we can add vendors specific conference specials to a page on the app for delegates to visit.

 

Multiple display spaces can be purchased.  If you are interested in participating, please complete the attached Registration Form and email it to:vendors@ofia.ca

Vendor registration is now open, the link below will direct you to the Vendor Registration on the ClearEvent platform, where you will be able to select your specific booth, fill out your registration form and make payment all in one place.  We hope this new platform will allow for a seamless transition that will reduce the amount of back and forth between registration and payment links.  Once your registration is approved, your payment will be processed.
 
Also new for 2024, we will still be providing Delegate Gift bags, but we will not be looking for Swag to add to them directly.  We would still like for vendors to provide swag but to have them located at your own booth.  We hope that this may also increase foot traffic for all vendors.
 
OFIA is also looking for products to be donated to the conference that will be used as door prizes during our main hall sessions.  These door prizes will be awarded at the start of each session (start of the day, after each break and lunch).  Your company name, booth number and the door prize will be announced to all attending the main hall session.
