With CDI you will meet your best customers and prospects while increasing your visibility with sponsorship, advertising, and conference exhibition!

Our membership spans all career disciplines and includes resume writers, career coaches and counselors, job developers, recruiters, outplacement specialists, HR practitioners and other specialists from private practice, civil service, academia and military. We currently have members in 14 countries and are continually growing.

Prior conferences have demonstrated solid value to CDI vendors based on the unique layout of our exhibitor space.

Ever feel like those 'vendor breaks' seem to pass too fast? Hours set out across 2-3 days really only leave you with trickles of prospect face time? CDI offers something different with a host of unique opportunities:

1. Increased traffic and visibility with vendor tables located in main meeting room and immediate lobby where attendees meet each day (excluding lunch).

"What a wonderful gift to have a conference offer vendors the opportunity to participate in the conference programs, as more times than not, we are placed in another room. It is wonderful that CDI recognizes the fact that we are also entrepreneurs in need of guidance as we build our business’.

Thank you to CDI for a wonderful conference. I will definitely see you next year!"

- Val Matta, CareerShift, LLC

2. Multiple networking events including vendor breaks, affinity meeting, reception, and included boat tour.

3. Exclusive Vendor Fair on Saturday afternoon.

4. Engagement and immersion with your prospects by participating in the conference vs. standing behind a booth in a distant room.

Every booth receives prime placement to ensure high visibility and traffic during our Summit. Further, CDI presents door prizes throughout the entire Vendor Fair which keeps attendees in the room meeting with you!

CDI strives to ensure that your investment in exhibition and sponsorship is worthwhile through a variety of marketing strategies as outlined below.

Whether you take advantage of a vendor booth or make a longer lasting impression by adding sponsorship or simply opting for sponsorship alone, the CDI Conference is an outstanding way of increasing your traffic and capture more clients.

We hope that you will join us in San Diego, CA, October 14-16, 2010 for our highly unique 9th annual conference: "The Career Empowerment Summit: Grow, Engage, Thrive."
