Thank You, Sponsors!
 
One of the most important things you can do to ensure the success of the NGLA Annual Conference is to visit the exhibiting sponsors in the NGLA Village (Third Level, Grand Foyer West).
 
These organizations support the conference, and those dollars help keep the costs low for attendees like you! It's critical that you take time during the conference to visit their tables, thank their representatives for their support, and see if their service could be useful to any of the individuals or organizations back on your campus. Some offer conference discounts and cool giveaways at their exhibit booths. Some even offer internships or jobs to attendees they meet at the conference!
 
To help you engage with our conference sponsors, we're continuing a few programs in NGLA Village this year!
 
Sponsor Selfies: Show us your best selfie! Take a selfie with a sponsor, then tag them and @nglagreeks in your Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter or post. Each day, NGLA will select the top 3 selfies and the winners will receive a $25 Amazon gift card.
 
NGLA Village Passport: As you visit with our sponsors and learn about their offerings, collect stamps on your NGLA Village Passport (provided at Registration). Once you collect 12 stamps, submit your passport at Registration to enter to win one of three $150 Amazon gift cards.
 
Advisors – please take the time to discuss the importance of visiting exhibitors with your student delegations as you prepare to travel to Baltimore.
