Exhibitor & Sponsorship Opportunities

In May, Minnesota HomeCare Association (MHCA) will celebrate its 50th Annual Meeting. Agency staff from around the state will convene in the Metro Area for education, networking, and fun!

The Annual Meeting, MHCA’s most popular event of the year, will feature multiple concurrent sessions, a keynote speaker, state and federal updates, a recognition program, and sponsored social events. The event has always been a great value for companies wanting to make an impact with Minnesota home care providers, and this year's event will continue to provide that value!

Expo time will be condensed into one day in 2020 to give exhibitors more focused time with attendees. We invite you to purchase drink tickets to give out to attendees for the cocktail hour immediately proceding our 50th Anniversary Celebration Dinner!

Attendees are looking to increase their knowledge on new strategies and products. Join us and showcase what you have to offer!

WHO'S ATTENDING?

Approximately 250 home health professionals who have management responsibility will be present, such as home care leaders, managers and supervisors, clinical service directors, and direct-care staff.

Display Restrictions

Event Cancellation and Refund Policy

Expo cancellations must be in writing and received by MHCA 60 days prior to the event. No refunds for cancellations made after the cancellation deadline (March 16, 2020) or for no-shows (exceptions will only be made to this policy, should we be sold out with a wait list and able to secure a replacement). Expo booths must be paid in full within 30 days of receipt of invoice. Sponsorships must be paid in full to be secure or promoted. Booths may not be shared with other vendors.

Additional Rules of Conduct – Suitcasing Policy

Exhibitors will not distribute souvenirs or coupons outside of the exhibitor’s paid-for display space, post signs or other advertising displays elsewhere in the conference center, or sponsor any event that conflicts with the expo. Any distribution of sales materials or business cards or the attempt to solicit business from exhibitors or show visitors by non-exhibiting companies is a form of criminal trespass and strictly prohibited; violators will be removed by security. Please report any such activity to MHCA staff – violators are unfairly and unethically taking business and attention away from you, the paying participant. Exhibitors are discouraged from entering drawings for other exhibitors’ show prizes.
