Networking Fair General Information for Presenters

The NCTSN 2010 All-Network Conference will be held from March 1-4, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The conference provides an opportunity to emphasize collective successes and experiences as leaders in the field of child traumatic stress.

As an essential element of the NCTSN All-Network Conference, the Networking Fair allows Network centers to showcase both their individual center activities as well as the results of their collaborative activities. Each current grantee center is provided with an exhibit space that includes a skirted 6’ table and poster/tack board to display information about its center and programs, and to distribute center materials. It is recommended that at least one person should staff the display and be available to answer questions during the Networking Fair while other center staff circulate to see other displays.

Schedule

The Networking Fair will take place in the Crescent City Ballroom on Tuesday, March 2, from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m.

*Display setup is scheduled during the following days and times:
  • Monday, March 1, from 3:00 – 7:00 p.m.
  • Tuesday, March 2, from 7:00 – 8:30 a.m.
  • Tuesday, March 2, from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. (during the lunch break)
*Displays must be dismantled and removed on Tuesday, March 2 by 6:30 pm or March 3 no later than 8:00 am. Any displays remaining in the exhibit area after 8:00 am on March 3 will be discarded.

Materials

Your center will be provided with a display table and poster/tack board with pushpins and Velcro tabs. Centers should bring brochures and other materials and products related to their SAMHSA program and their other programs as well. It is recommended that you bring approximately 100 copies of any materials you wish to distribute.

Please use your display as a way to highlight your center’s primary areas of expertise and connect with other Network centers that have similar interests. These might include special populations that you serve or interventions that you have developed or plan to adopt.

Centers are also invited (but certainly not required) to bring treats or snacks unique to their local communities, to share with visitors to their display; this has been an enjoyable part of the Networking Fair in past years. Please speak with your Network Liaison if you have any questions about this or any other aspect of the Networking Fair.
