Become a Sponsor
Sponsors are integral to the success of TEDPA! For many of our state members, their staff sizes and/or state population sizes negate vendors from making individual trips to showcase new products, provide training and demonstrations, or solicit direct feedback on current products and suggestions for future ones. TEDPA’s annual conference provides vendors an opportunity to market their products/services to a wide variety of states at one time. Conversely, the conference is an opportunity for those same states that do not have travel budgets to meet the vendors personally, see their products first hand, and enhance their product knowledge in order to more effectively provide services to their consumers.

Approval as a sponsor in any given year does not automatically confer sponsor status upon any vendor for any subsequent year.
