24th Annual Professional Education Day- VENDORS

Northern Illinois Affiliate of the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society™ (WOCN®) presents the 24th Annual Professional Education Day on October 18, 2022 at Bobak's Signature Events, 6440 Double Eagle Dr in Woodridge.

You will have the opportunity to display your products, as well as introduce new products, to all of our attendees. We anticipate wound, ostomy and continence specialists to participate from all areas, including acute care, long term care, and home health settings.

Our vendors are important to us and we want to be sure that our attendees have plenty of time to meet with you, so we have scheduled about 2 hours and 40 minutes of our event for attendees to spend in the vendor hall. We encourage them to visit your tables using a raffle sheet so know they will ask you to sign off on it when they visit you. Since registration and vendor times will begin at 7:00am, we recommend you get to Bobak's Signature Events early to set up. Vendors will be allowed to begin setting up tables at 6:00 AM. Our scheduled vendor exhibit hours will be prior to the beginning of the conference from 7:00 to 7:55 AM, during a scheduled vendor break from 10:00 to 10:45 AM, and during an extended lunch from 12:00 to 1:30 PM.

Our theme this year is "Growing Together". We have strong presenters lined up on topics encompassing all three of our core areas of wound, ostomy, and continence care.

We highly encourage vendors to bring totes or bags are they are a favorite of our affiliates when visiting the vendor hall, and would also appreciate any donations for our raffle.
