Why Exhibit with TAHSA?
The Texas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (TAHSA) represents not-for-profit organizations who provide aging services to Texas seniors. Our members provide nursing care, assisted living, memory care, retirement living, independent living and home-and-community-based services. Our Annual Meeting and Trade Show is our most attended meeting for the year and draws nearly 500 attendees from all over the state. This is a great opportunity to reach the leaders and decision makers of the Texas aging services industry.
If your company has a product or service of interest to aging services providers, the TAHSA Trade Show is the place to be, exhibiting affords the opportunity to network with decision-makers and leaders in the field. If you are interested in product exposure, identifying new clients, expanding your client base or solidifying established business relationships, you do not want to miss the TAHSA trade show!
If you are interested in:
- Product exposure
- Solidifying established business relationships

- Increasing the power of advertising budgets
We invite you to exhibit at our 2009 Annual Meeting and Trade Show.
These opportunities are offered to your company:

Booth Specifications and Equipment:
All booths are 8' X 10'. Booth fees include an 8' high back drape and 3' high side dividers. One furniture package (consisting of one 6' table and 2 chairs) per exhibitor will be provided upon request. A maximum of four individuals will be allowed to work in each booth at one time. One representative from the exhibiting firm must be present at the booth during exhibit hours. Manufacturer's representatives are only allowed to work in the booth of the company representing their products. The exhibiting company must include the representative as one of their exhibit booth personnel.
Badges are required for entry to the exhibit hall and must be worn at all times. Exhibit booth fees allow exhibitors to participate in all the events in the exhibit hall. Tickets may be purchased to attend the annual business luncheon, the annual banquet and other special events. TAHSA invites and encourages exhibitor personnel to join annual meeting attendees at all special events.

Exhibitor Extras:
TAHSA has created a number of "added exposure opportunities" to help you reach your target market:
- Special events in the exhibit hall will include a grand opening reception and luncheon.
- Listing of company name and product description in annual meeting program.
- Exhibiting companies may advertise in the annual meeting program. Distributed to all attendees, the program is in constant use throughout the meeting, serving as a guide to all educational sessions and social activities. In addition, our members use the guide throughout the year as a quick product reference.
- Educational programs are available to all exhibitors who wish to register. Meet decision-makers in long term care while you increase your own knowledge of the profession. A meeting brochure and registration form will be sent to all exhibitors prior to the meeting.
- Special events and activities are offered to exhibitors for sponsorship. These events are an excellent venue for reinforcing your company to the attendees. Signage will be on display with sponsor's name.
