Exhibitor Booths for For-Profit Companies: Reserve your company’s exhibitor booth by November 1, 2011. The booth fee is $350. No convention registration is required. The exhibitor registration form is available for printing here.
Each space is approximately 8 ft. by 8 ft. and tables will be provided. The booths are situated in the prefunction area, directly across from Salons I, II, III, and IV, where many of the convention breakout sessions will be held as well as all meals. Therefore, the area will experience heavy traffic throughout the convention, allowing your target audience of farmers, ranchers, and conservationists to view your display.
Ads in the printed program are available for purchase. The exhibitor registration form lists prices for various sizes. If you wish to be a convention sponsor (Gold, Silver, or Bronze) and have your company’s name appear on a poster at the registration table, please indicate your level of sponsorship on the registration form.
Meal tickets will be available at the registration table during registration hours (Sunday from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.; Monday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.).
Please make checks or money orders payable to KACD and mail them to P.O. Box 3510, Lawrence, KS 66046, by November 1, 2011. If you need additional information, contact info@kacdnet.org.
Information Booths for Nonprofits/Governmental Agencies: Information booths are available for nonprofit/governmental agencies for $250. The information booth registration form is available here. Convention registration is not required unless those working the booth plan to attend breakout sessions. All booth reservations should be postmarked by November 1, 2011.
Each space is approximately 8 ft by 8 ft. and tables will be provided. The booths are situated in the prefunction area between the Multi-Media Theater and the lobby where convention registration takes place. This is a high-traffic area, so convention attendees will have multiple opportunities to view your materials.

The Kansas Association of Conservation Districts held its 67th annual convention November 20-22, 2011, at the Wichita Airport Hilton. The theme was “Adapting to a Changing Climate.”
The changing climate not only presents farmers, ranchers, and other conservationists with new challenges for preserving Kansas soil, water, air, plants, and animals, the changing economic climate on the federal, state, and local levels also leads to some daunting challenges for maintaining the state's long-held tradition of strong conservation. This year's convention features several breakout sessions and keynote speakers aimed at those issues.
Convention Program: The convention program, available here, gives an overview of planned breakout sessions, keynote speakers, meeting times, and other details.
Registration: Please download the registration form and print out one for each convention attendee. Completed forms may be mailed by November 15, 2011, to KACD at P.O. Box 3510, Lawrence, KS 66046. Individual checks (or money orders) or a single check for multiple registrations should be made payable to KACD. When you register at the convention, your registration packet will include a receipt. Please note that in order to be eligible for the bundle price of $195, which includes registration, Monday lunch, Monday evening banquet, and Tuesday morning breakfast, registrations must be postmarked by November 10, 2011. After that date, registration and meal tickets will be charged individually at a slightly higher rate.
