From November 7 to November 9, 2019, the Minnesota Commission of the Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing (MNCDHH) is excited to once again host the Collaborative Experience Conference in Brainerd, MN at Breezy Point Resort. 

In the past, the Conference has presented information on the most recent research and practice in Deaf/DeafBlind/Hard of Hearing (D/DB/HH) education to over 325 professionals.

Support from sponsors and exhibitors provide financial support for an event of this caliber. Being a sponsor and/or exhibitor will not only benefit the conference and its attendees but the sponsor and exhibitor, as well.  

The Collaborative Experience attracts professionals that work with D/DB/HH communities. These individuals are key leaders with direct exposure to parents, schools, and the medical community. Organizations are encouraged to participate in this event as a sponsor or exhibitor.  Hosting an exhibit will increase your connection and branding with your audience.

There are many options for an organization to participate as a sponsor and/or exhibitor of the Collaborative Experience Conference, which are listed under "Sponsorship Opportunities."

If your organization would like to register as a sponsor or exhibitor, please contact Liza at liza@eventivemeetings.com.
