Dear Prospective Sponsor/Vendor:
The annual Georgia Compensatory Educational Leaders (GCEL) Conference will be held on February 7-10, 2010 at the Augusta Marriott Hotels and Suites, Two Tenth Street, Augusta, Georgia, (706) 722-8900. The theme is “Journey Towards Excellence.” Please visit the GCEL website at www.GCEL.org for more information.
We, the members of GCEL, greatly appreciate the role sponsors and vendors play in making our conference possible; therefore, we are soliciting your organization to partner with us for the 2010 GCEL conference. The cost of the vendor package is $300 for one table or $550 for two tables. Included with each table is one conference bag, Monday’s breakfast, and Monday’s lunch. The scheduled day for vendors to exhibit will be Monday, February 8, 2010 beginning at 8:00 a.m. On that day, all breaks will be held in the vendor area.
Vendors will be allowed to set up their displays on Sunday, February 7, 2010 after 4:00 p.m. or Monday morning beginning at 7:00 a.m. Electrical outlets will be provided; however, you should bring extension cords and/or power strips. Neither the hotel nor GCEL is responsible for materials left on display tables Sunday night. GCEL is not responsible for hotel reservations for vendors.
