Conference Exhibitors
Thanks for considering an exhibiting opportunity at the CCEF National Conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 13-16, 2016.
What is the CCEF National Conference?
The CCEF National conference is a 3-day event sponsored by the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). The conference features teaching on counseling topics through general sessions and workshops, as well as opportunities for worship, fellowship, and networking. Past conferences have drawn up to 2,000 attendees from across the states and internationally. These attendees include church leadership and laity. Attendees cross a spectrum of ages and are generally 60% women and 40% men.
Attendees who visit the Ministry Expo are eager to help others through difficult times and are looking for ideas, opportunities and resources to help them accomplish this goal. The exhibit area is strategically located near the main hall where the plenary sessions will be held. This prime real estate will allow you to interact with CCEF’s attendees before and after each of the general sessions, meal breaks, and during downtime. Our venue, the Chattanooga Convention Center, is located less than 10 miles from the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport.
We believe that many organizations would benefit greatly from exhibiting at CCEF’s National Conference. We desire to give the conference attendees a variety of ministry resources to further empower their churches and ministries.
