<h2>Exhibitor and Sponsor Benefits</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>The conference is in a prime convention facility: the beautiful <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1383&amp;language=en_US">Westin Charlotte Hotel</a>.</p>
<p>Sponsors/Exhibitors will be extended the same premium rate per night  for accommodations as attendees, and those wishing to take advantage of  this spectacular venue will have that room rate available for three days  before the conference and three days after. Sponsors/Exhibitors can  bring family members and combine business with pleasure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Auxiliary National Conference is a superb opportunity to meet  with both USCG Auxiliary and USCG Active Duty leaders and decision  makers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Exhibit times are arranged so that you will have the opportunity to  meet with those in attendance during the days when we expect 300-400  Auxiliary and Active Duty Guardians to be present.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sponsor and Exhibitor names, with key contact information, will be  featured in the National Conference program distributed to all  attendees.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each Guardian in attendance will be provided with a 'bingo' card upon  arrival and exhibitors will need to stamp each card to make attendees  eligible for raffle prizes. Raffle drawings will take place at periodic  intervals during the conference while exhibits are open, and we would  ask Exhibitors and Sponsors to donate products to the raffle. Winners of  Exhibitors' products will be required to visit the donor's exhibit in  order to pick up the prizes.</p>
