Transcription

1 NYWC 2016 NOVEMBER CINCINNATI, OH exhibitor & sponsor packet The National Youth Workers Convention (NYWC) has been training, equipping, and encouraging youth workers for more than 45 years as part of Youth Specialties. This four-day event draws youth workers from around the world and from every denomination. NYWC attracts paid youth pastors, volunteer youth workers, youth ministry students, spouses of youth workers, and just about anyone else interested in helping teenagers find and follow Jesus. In addition to more than 50 seminars, NYWC also features worship, entertainment, and speakers who inspire, encourage, and enlighten attendees. We curate a variety of perspectives and experiences from all across the country, helping attendees explore big ideas and figure out how to apply them to their own youth ministry contexts. This year, NYWC will occur at one location: The Duke Energy Convention Center in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, OH. Because NYWC is at one location, you can be assured that your organization is at the ultimate youth workers convention. This packet features multiple opportunities that will help you maximize your exposure and budget, and it includes all the information you need to get started. If you have any questions, please contact Roxie Lewis at , or us at exhibit@youthspecialties.com, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to partnering with you!
