What is the Information Exchange?

The Information Exchange is an exhibit hall available to NOVA conference attendees. The goal for the Information Exchange is to encourage an eclectic mix of victim-related information, arts and retail exhibitors. Last year, conference exhibitors sold victim/witness program software as well as cookbooks, jewelry and clothing supporting victims’ assistance programs. Exhibits also included arts and crafts, jewelry makers, massage therapists, hair weaving, and clothing sales to name but a few.

Why should you be an exhibitor?

Over 1000 attendees are expected at this year’s conference and many of them disseminate exhibitor information and materials to their staff and colleagues. In addition to business opportunities, your participation will put you in contact with crime victim advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, correctional personnel, non-profits, mental health, education and health professionals.

How does it work?

A designated area is set-aside at the hotel to display information on programs and exhibits. Conference attendees will be encouraged via the conference program and regular announcements made at major sessions during the conference to visit this area. The exchange will run from Sunday through Thursday of the conference. Specific set-up times will be sent to you on confirmation of your application.
