What is a Kiosk?
You will provide a design for the kiosk, we will print it for you. You just show up!
These kiosks include your provided artwork and two shelves. The printed graphic is 8 feet tall and 18 inches wide. Each vendor will have a kiosk, a cocktail table and two barstools. Any additional equipment is not included (the printer and iPad in the picture are not included).
Kiosks are included in the price of VIP+, VIP, and Standard Partnerships. Value Partners may elect to add on a kiosk for $1,500 (making their total investment $2,750) which would include 2 vendor pass registrations.
Partners that have large equipment (such as beds) may elect to upgrade to a DISPLAY BOOTH for $750. These booths will still include the kiosk (if desired), but will have extra room to accommodate furniture/furnishings and will NOT include the cocktail table and barstools. The number of display booths available is limited.
Note: non-partners are not eligible to purchase a kiosk.

What's the "wall" the VIP+ Partners get?
VIP+ partnerships include a graphic wall similar to what is pictured – displayed near registration at DeVos Place on Monday and Tuesday for high traffic and visibility.
Why should I be a VIP Partner?
VIP+ and VIP partnerships include an exclusive opportunity to host a tabletop display in the foyer at all of our major annual events: Spring Leadership, UP Conference, and Annual Convention.
Being a VIP+ or VIP Partner means you get a constant presence with HCAM members throughout each of these events. VIP+ and VIP Partners consistently say this is the best benefit of this tier!
What's the "splash page" the VIP+ Partners get?
VIP+ partnerships include a dedicated splash page on the HCAM website similar to what is pictured below based on information provided from the partner to HCAM. This page will be published until December 31, 2025.
