Thank you for considering an exhibiting or promotional opportunity at the CCEF National Conference in Virginia Beach, VA from October 19–21, 2018.
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.
Why consider an exhibiting or promotional opportunity?
The Ministry Expo and promotional opportunities exist to promote ministries that partner with, and add value to, the mission of CCEF: To Restore Christ to Counseling and Counseling to the Church. Our desire is to provide opportunities to showcase your ministry as you seek to spread the Gospel in creative, powerful, and fun ways to benefit and bless our attendees.
We believe that many organizations would benefit greatly from exhibiting or promotion at CCEF’s National Conference. We desire to give the conference attendees a variety of ministry resources to further empower their churches and ministries.
