Vendor Registration

Registration Information

Do you want an opportunity to interact with hundreds of potential customers? Have a chance to have your product and services in front of the right people at the right time who want to buy? Then sign up to be a vendor at the HSMG 2012 Annual Conference in Portland, OR! You will get the opportunity to meet and talk with individuals who are interested in supporting you as much as you support the HSMG. Sign up today as spots are limited.

This year the schedule allows exhibitors to stay open for the duration of the conference, with very little "closed" time. There are also periods set aside in the schedule for exhibitor networking to allow the attendees ample time to visit the exhibitors exclusively.

The HSMG 2012 Annual Conference is open to members and non-members of the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild to be vendors. Members are entitled to a discount on the Vendor Registration fee.
