- Description
- The U.S. Office of Personnel Management's annual Federal Benefits Conference, Benefits Discovery 2002, will be held at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel, Norfolk, VA, on June 11-14, 2002. This year the Federal Benefits Conference will have a vendor exhibit area on June 12 and 13. The annual Federal Benefits Conference is a major U.S. Office of Personnel Management Retirement and Insurance Service initiative. The purpose of the conference is to update the group on initiatives in the area, share information among agencies about actions some have taken to deal with benefits education, increased workloads, etc., and address crosscutting issues in retirement, insurance, Social Security, workers compensation, and Thrift Savings Plan administration. The conference will include payroll-related topics and will have sessions on interactions between payroll and human resource functions. In the past approximately a third of the attendees were Federal agency headquarters level staff who are responsible for administering the benefits program within their agencies. The other attendees were field staff with benefits administration responsibilities at the field level. Last year, approximately 580 agency representatives attended the conference. We expect about 650 attendees at this year's conference. Exhibitors Information. Twenty-five exhibit spaces are available. Exhibit spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Registration must be received by April 15, 2002. The exhibit area will be in public areas of the hotel. Exhibitors may set up beginning at 8:00 AM, June 12. Exhibits must be removed by 4:00 PM, June 13. Conference sessions begin at 8:30 AM each day and end at 5:00 PM. Conference attendees will have a number of opportunities to visit the exhibit area on June 12 and 13. The exhibit booths will be 8' by 10' with pipe and drapes and will include an electrical outlet, one table and 2 chairs. The cost of an exhibit booth is $875 for an 8' by 10' booth. VCR with monitor is available for an extra charge of $205 per day; a phone line is available for an extra charge of $80 per day plus the cost of calls. Exhibitors will rent the space directly from the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel. However, the rental application and checks will come to the Office of Personnel Management.
