EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS 2023

Our Expo offers an intimate setting in which to reach key decision makers.

*The expo is now sold out! If you would like to be put on a waiting list, please email Lynn Monaghan at [email protected]*

You’ll reach over 100 leaders of Maine and New Hampshire providers representing diverse, not-for-profit organizations along the continuum of care.

Over 75% of attendees are decision-makers in senior leadership roles, 15% are managers of services provided to residents (food service, activities, housekeeping, maintenance & grounds), and 10% serve in a clinical capacity. 

Portland Sheraton at Sable Oaks Hotel – 200 Sable Oaks Dr, South Portland, ME 04106
NEW! The Portland Sheraton at Sable Oaks will host all conference sessions and our Expo.

Format & Layout
NEW! This year’s Expo will offer two blocks of time to network and connect with attendees on Tuesday, April 4th, 8:00-9:00am & 10:45am-noon. To offer more flexibility to our exhibitors, we will have both high-top tables, as well as 6 ft tables. The high-tops will be in the foyer, which will feature high attendee traffic during both time slots. The 6 ft tables will be around the perimeter of part of the ballroom and will be where attendees will get their coffee and snacks during the mid-day Expo hours. You can review the new layout HERE.

Limited Capacity
Exhibit space at LeadingAge Maine & New Hampshire’s 2023 Expo & Awards Program has limited capacity: 30 booths. The first opportunity to reserve a booth will be granted to GOLD Partners, then SILVER Partners, then BRONZE Partners. GOLD Partners will have the opportunity to choose their specific booth location, while SILVER and BRONZE Partners will be able to share their preference for a 6ft table vs a high top table.
