General Information:
Wisconsin Head Start Association is hosting the 21st annual training conference titled REFRESH, RENEW, REFOCUS. This theme references the need in every Head Start student, parent and staff member to slow down and regroup after a difficult few years. Join your colleagues and the parents you serve in a relaxingly educational experience that will hopefully leave us all feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle this important work. The 2023 Annual Conference will be an exciting opportunity for professional development, and WHSA is currently seeking exhibitors!
Past exhibitors have truly enjoyed and benefited from their conference experience, and each year we try to make improvements for the exhibitors based on their suggestions. Exhibitors at the 2020 conference and those who exhibited with us virtually during the past two years were extremely pleased with the results. Exhibitors will be located in the main luncheon/break room; allowing for a high volume of participant traffic.
New this year: WHSA will be holding a Head Start Prom on the evening of 2/27/23. This event will take place in the exhibition/generally assembly hall. Though it is not required that you stay for this event, you are absolutely welcome to do so for additional exposure. We expect this event to run from roughly 5:30-7:00pmCST.

Exhibitor Raffle:
Every year we have an “Exhibitor Raffle” which has been very successful at increasing traffic and interest in the exhibit area. All conference attendees are issued an “exhibitor passport” which they take to the exhibit booths. They have the passport stamped at each booth and when the passport is completed, they put their name in for a door prize. We are asking all exhibitors to contribute one small item for the door prizes. If you do decide to participate in the conference, please think about what you would like to contribute as we plan on including the “exhibit passport” raffle again this year.
Exhibitor Lunch:
New in the past few years, we are offering exhibitors one free lunch with the purchase of their space. Additional lunches can be purchased at $10 apiece, a discounted rate from previous years. Exhibitors will be receiving the same lunch as the participants and will be eating in the dining area with the participants. If you are interested in lunch, please indicate this on your completed contract. The lunch fee must be paid at the time you submit your completed contract.
