Note to 2024 Fall Conference Exhibitors: Conference activities will take place at the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 and at the connected Erie Bayfront Convention Center on Thursday, October 10, 2024 and Friday, October 11, 2024. At the conclusion of the Wednesday evening reception, exhibitors will be asked to pack and remove their tabletop displays, which will need to be set up, again, at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center on Thursday morning, prior to breakfast. PEDA staff will also be moving its registration materials on Wednesday evening and, if needed, may be able to provide a limited amount of storage for small items at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center that night, though neither PEDA nor the Erie Bayfront Convention Center can be held responsible for items left there. More details will be made available at a future date.

Note: Once capacity has been reached for exhibitors’ table-top displays at this event, no further exhibitor commitments can be accepted. If a commitment/payment for an exhibit table is received after capacity has been reached, it will be returned or refunded as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
