- As in previous years we will have a vendor exhibits area open during the conference. The following information is for vendors who want to exhibit at the 2003 Federal Benefits Conference ? ?2003 Benefits Unmasked?: FROM:: U.S. Office Of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, NW., Room 1342, Washington, DC 20415 SUBJECT: FEDERAL BENEFITS CONFERENCE EXHIBITS DESC: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management's annual Federal Benefits Conference, 2003 Benefits Unmasked, will be held at the Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at Four Seasons, Greensboro, NC, on June 3 - 6, 2003. This year the Federal Benefits Conference will have a vendor exhibit area on June 4 and 5. 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 650 agency representatives attended the conference. We expect about 700 attendees at this year's conference. Exhibitors Information: Thirty exhibit spaces are available. Exhibit spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Registration must be received by April 11, 2003. The exhibit area will be in public areas of the hotel. Exhibitors may set up beginning at 8:00 AM, June 4th. Exhibits must be removed by 4:00 PM, June 5th. Conference sessions begin at 8:30 AM each day and end at 4:30 PM. Conference attendees will have a number of opportunities to visit the exhibit area on June 4th and 5th. The staffed exhibit booths will be 8' by 10' with pipe and drapes and will include signage, an electrical outlet, one table and 2 chairs. The cost of a staffed exhibit booth is $895 for an 8' by 10' booth.
