Exhibitor Opportunities

The Financial Planning Association of Minnesota is excited to offer three levels of partnerships! Our association is supported by a number of exceptional sponsors who help offset the cost of delivering benefits. Partners help lead FPA's message of building the community of the financial planning profession, with your commitment to the assocation, our mission and our members.

Sponsorship includes a 8' x 10' exhibitor space. The layout and floor plan should be completed by mid-March; booth assignments will be made on a first-pay, first-choose basis to Platinum, then Gold, then Silver Partners. We are moving to the Lower Level, with FPA being the only venue. To maximize your exposure to attendees, the continental breakfast, breaks, and wine and cheese reception will be placed throughout the lobby area amongst the booths. The refreshments will be moved from area to area to provide an equal amount of attendee flow. to exhibitors. Exhibitors may sign up for  "Minute To Shine" by providing a door prize valued over $50. As always, you are welcome to listen to the seminars and receive CFP Board, NASBA/CPE and Minnesota insurance credits.

Fees for sponsors and exhibitors will include breaks, wine and cheese reception and all meals, providing the opportunity to meet attendees one on one. Signage and moderator comments will recognize meal and break sponsors. Extra booth charges, such as electricity, phone hookup, equipment, etc., are the responsibility of the exhibitor.
