Silent Auction - The Silent Auction is a wonderful draw in the exhibit hall year after year.  Attendees love the opportunity to pick up a great item at a great price.  You choose what you want to contribute, showcase it in your booth and take bids throughout the day.  (The MN Gift Law prohibits door prize drawings so you are encouraged to utilize the Silent Auction to draw people to your booth) A portion of the proceeds from the Silent auction will benefit the Emergency Foodshelf Network

Booth Give-Aways - Remember the MN Gift Law limits the value of items that many conference attendees can accept at $5.00.  Door prize drawings are not allowed!

Lunches for booth staff - The RiverCentre has the Headwaters Cafe on the first floor as one option for lunch.  The other option is to order box lunches available on the Exhibitor registration form.
