About The Assembly Experience

  • Designed to be hands-on, participatory, and practitioner centered
  • Sessions invite attendees into the work through discussion, problem-solving, reflection, or application
  • Proposals should approach these topics from a field-facing, system-level perspective, emphasizing lessons learned, emerging practices, or sector-wide challenges rather than product demonstrations or sales messaging

Exhibitor Information

Youtube video

The Assembly is not a trade show. Your space isn’t about foot traffic. It’s about presence.

Each 10X10 exhibit space includes:

  • A 10×10 exhibit space with a 6-foot draped table and two chairs
  • A required AMA (Ask Me Anything) session in a dedicated room—one per exhibitor
  • All meeting breaks held in the AMA room, ensuring real engagement
  • Two complimentary registrations
  • A listing in the conference app

This isn’t about demos or pitches. It’s about being accessible, curious, and engaged.

Your AMA session isn’t a presentation – it’s an invitation:

  • To answer real questions
  • To hear unfiltered challenges
  • To engage institutions as thinking partners, not prospects

If your value shows up best in conversation, this is where it belongs.
