2027 OACP Annual Trade Show
Vendor Schedule
(subject to change slightly)
Dear vendor partners.
We understand that our vendor partners make a lot of sacrifices to be at an OACP conference. You must justify that this conference will be worth the cost & effort. Not only will you be paying for a booth (and a sponsorship for many of you), you’ll also be budgeting for transportation and lodging. Please know how much this is appreciated and that we truly want this conference to be worth your investment. Although Oregon training requirements don’t allow more organized time in the schedule than what we have provided for our members to connect with vendors, we do commit to trying to make those hours as beneficial as possible.
Last year we heard your request to sit down with Oregon chiefs at meals and therefore we got creative with incorporating that in the schedule. Although we were limited on space, we gave each company two meal tickets at check-in – either 2 for lunch on Wed or 2 for breakfast on Thursday, or one for each meal, depending on how you chose to use them. We heard from many of you that this was helpful in providing an additional opportunity to connect with OACP members. We’re planning the same for this year.
In addition to this, we have organized Trade Show hours and a Vendor reception on Wednesday from 4:30-6:00 with drinks and appetizers, and plenty of cocktail rounds scattered among the event space for easy conversations.
In spite of limitations on time, we promise to do our very best to make the Trade Show a positive experience with a satisfying ROI. We welcome any suggestions you may have.
