Application for exhibit space
September 8 – November 1, 2025

exhibit areas
The MMEA Conference Main Exhibit Area is located in Windgate Hall at the Tan-Tar-A Conference Center.
*All Exhibit Options will exhibit in Windgate Hall.
This location is a great benifit to our attendees as they can literally be the exhibit area one minute, and in a concert or clinic session a few minutes later.
This is also a benefit to our exhibitors as there is ample face time with our attendees throughout the conference.
