Exhibitors & Sponsors

Thank You for a Great 2026 Conference

Thank you to every county official, exhibitor, and sponsor who joined us October 11-13 for Counties: 250 Years in the Making. Your booths, sponsorships, and conversations in the Exhibit Hall are a big part of what makes this conference work for North Dakota counties.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2027 NDACo Annual Conference, October 10-12, 2027.

The NDACo Annual Conference offers three indoor exhibit types and a variety of sponsorship opportunities. Details for 2027 exhibitor and sponsor registration will be shared closer to the conference. Questions in the meantime can go to NDACo at ndaco@ndaco.org or 701-425-0808.

Exhibit Options

Exhibitors choose from three indoor exhibit space options, each with dedicated exhibit hours and strong attendee traffic throughout exhibit day.

Elite Exhibitor

Elite Exhibit

What makes an exhibit elite? Among other things - location, location, location. The Elite Exhibit area is right outside the general session area, and exhibitors have their own "Elite" space. Elite Exhibitors do not set up or tear down a traditional tradeshow booth. NDACo provides the display area and the table. There is room for pop-ups (see picture).

Also, Elite Exhibitors must bring a raffle gift to be displayed at their booths for the NDACo Scholarship Fundraiser; these raffle gifts are a main attraction to our attendees.

Traditional Exhibitor

Traditional Exhibit

The Bismarck Event Center provides an excellent venue for Traditional trade show booths. Traffic through the Exhibit Hall is strong, and there's plenty of room in the Traditional Exhibit to demonstrate your product, show a video, or sit knee to knee with your prospects.

Large Equipment Exhibitor

Large Equipment Exhibit

Large Equipment Exhibit space adjoins your booth, so you won't have to leave your booth to show off your big toys. Large Equipment spaces sit between the Elite and Traditional exhibit areas.
