March 9-12, 2009 - Oregon Convention Center - Portland Oregon
The Oregon Governor’s Occupational Safety & Health Conference (GOSH) is the largest safety and health conference in the West and one of the largest in the United States. The theme of the 2009 conference is “Safety & Health in Action – Making a Difference in Today’s Workplace and Beyond.” The goal of the conference is to provide an educational forum where employers, safety and health professionals, safety committee members, line supervisors, manufacturers, and distributors can come to gain state of the art knowledge and skills leading to self-sufficiency in their occupational safety and health programs.
As an exhibitor you receive the following:
- Contracted floor space (minimum space size is 10-foot by 10-foot), 8-foot high draped back wall with 3-foot high draped side rails.
- Two side chairs and one 6’, draped display table.
- One standard electrical outlet (5 amps, 120 V), if requested.
- Early applicants receive one complimentary parking pass for a lot adjacent to the convention center (with in and out privileges) during exhibit days (March 10 and March 11).
- Two complimentary lunch tickets per booth space (maximum four per company) for Tuesday. Wednesday lunch is not included, but can be purchased for $15.00.
- The exhibit hall will open at 7 a.m. for “Breakfast with the Exhibitors” from 7-8:30 a.m. each day.
- Complimentary registration for up to two of your representatives for classes on Tuesday and Wednesday, the exhibit days. Pre-registration required.
- Unlimited Exhibit Hall Passes you can give to customers who are unable to attend the conference, but you would like to visit your booth. Our success is your success.
