Subject: 2012 Federal Benefits Conference Exhibits The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Retirement Services, Benefits Officers Training and Development (BOTD) will hold its 2012 Federal Benefits Conference: Benefits Roundup in Dallas, Texas on June 4-8, 2012, at the Sheraton Dallas Downtown Hotel located at 400 North Olive Street, Dallas, Texas 75201. This year the Benefits Conference will have a vendor exhibit area on June 6 and 7. The purpose of the training is to update the group on initiatives in the benefits 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. In addition, this year's event will feature a 2 ½ day conference, Benefits Roundup Conference (held on June 6 and 7 and ½ day on the 8th), which will include the 6th Annual Symposium on Retirement Financial Education and Federal retirement and benefits related plenary and breakout sessions. This 2 ½ day Federal Benefits: Benefits Roundup will have general sessions of interest to all, providing an overview of our retirement financial education programs as well as news and updates on current Federal benefits programs. In the past approximately a third of the attendees were Federal agency headquarters level staff with responsibility for administering the benefits programs within their agencies. The other attendees were field staff with benefits administration responsibilities at the field level. We anticipate approximately 450 agency representatives to attend this event. Up to 30 exhibit spaces are available. Exhibitors will rent the space directly from Power Train Inc, who is acting on OPM's behalf to manage the exhibit booths and facilitate set up and dismantle with the on-site display company. The rental application and payment will be submitted to Power Train. Power Train will accept payment by check, VISA or MasterCard. Exhibit spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Registration must be received by May 4, 2012. The exhibit area will be in the Grand Hall on the 1st floor of the Hotel. Exhibitors may set up beginning at 8:30 am, June 6th. Exhibits must be removed by 4:00pm June 7th. Sessions in the Ballroom begin at 8:30 am each day and end at 4:30 pm. The attendees will have a number of opportunities to visit the exhibit area on June 6th and 7th. The staffed exhibit booths will be 8' by 10' with pipe and drape and will include signage, an electrical outlet, one table and two chairs. The cost of a staffed exhibit booth is $ 1,175.00 for an 8' by 10' booth. Any other items needed for your booth; such as, VCR/DVD with monitor, phone line, internet access, etc., are available for an extra charge. You must notify Power Train of any additional requests. There is limited space available after the daily sessions (between 4:30 - 6:00 pm) for vendors to provide activities for attendees supporting the HealthierFeds initiatives. These activities could include workshops on healthy eating; demonstration activities such as aerobics, Pilates or stretching programs; sample health assessments; sample work site audits; or similar activities. The exhibitor cost is $750 to sponsor one of these activities. This fee covers the cost of the room for the session and placement of a vendor provided poster (maximum size 24' by 30") in the Ballroom Foyer area during registration on Sunday evening and all day Monday through Thursday. Participation in the exhibit area does not mean that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in any way endorses or approves the vendor or its products or services. Exhibitors may not represent in any way that their participation at the Benefits Training event represents any endorsements or approval by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. For additional information and an exhibit area registration form, please contact Brandon Mitchell of Power Train, 301-731-0900 ext 110.
