The Florida Counseling Association is comprised of counselors from a variety of work settings and specialty areas.

The Florida Counseling Association and its six divisions invite you to exhibit, advertise and/or be a sponsor at its annual convention. There will be several hundred counselors, counselor educators, and supervisors from schools, mental health agencies, private practice, career settings, post-secondary technical schools, and colleges and universities represented. Counselors, counselor educators, and supervisors from across Florida attend the FCA convention.

Participation opportunities include an exhibitor’s booth, advertising in the convention program, sponsoring an event for attendees, or promotional items for the convention tote bags. Any agency, organization or association may participate. Space for exhibit tables and for advertisement is limited. Final deadline for submission is September 15, 2014.

Program & Advertising Information:

Advertisements will be printed in the attractive, professionally designed official convention program. The program includes: the complete daily schedules, keynote speakers information, name/address/phone contact information for all exhibitors/vendors/sponsors and organizations who take part in the annual convention.

The convention program is the most important and valuable tool for all conventioneers. Each person continually refers to it when looking for scheduled workshops, locations, and pertinent information about our vendors/sponsors. Therefore, it gives advertisers maximum exposure to their products and services offered in the ads. The program is taken back to the work place to share and to use as a reference. Ads for the program must be “camera ready.” All materials are due to FCA on or by September 25th, 2014.
