Exhibit Hall Opportunities

NCPERS Conferences (held in May and October) provide the opportunity to showcase your company's products and services to an engaged group of public pension professionals. From trustees to seasoned executives, our events bring together top decision-makers at public pensions to learn, network, and connect with service providers.

With dedicated exhibit hall breaks built into the conference schedules, there's no better place to strengthen your relationships with existing clients and make a positive first impression with prospects. 

"My favorite part about having an exhibit booth at NCPERS is getting to catch up with investors, who over the last ten years have become friends … It is hard to get to know someone in a board room, so it is a pleasure to have these personal interactions with the NCPERS members and staff.” - Kristin Phalen, Intercontinental Real Estate Corp.
