Exhibitors said they needed more space. VIREB LISTENED! The VIREB Conference and Trade Show will be held at the VI Conference Centre to allow Exhibitors more space for BIGGER, BETTER exhibit areas and networking opportunities!

Our previous events have been very well received at the VI Conference Centre, bringing together many of VIREB’s 960 members from as far South as the Malahat to the Northern tip of the Island. REALTORS® are able to focus on learning new ways to promoting their business and increasing productivity through the various exhibit displays and networking opportunities with their fellow REALTORS®, Exhibitors and Sponsors.

VIREB’s Conference and Trade Show is just around the corner… Consider taking part as an Exhibitor and/or Sponsor! BECOMING AN EXHIBITOR Exhibitors will be set up in the Conference Centre, with ample visibility – either in the

Newcastle Island Lobby or Salon A&B (dependent on the number of confirmed exhibitors),

as noted on the attached floor plan. Exhibitors will be provided with a 6 foot skirted table,

2 chairs and power, if required. Cost to participate as an exhibitor is only $250 + HST.

Cost includes 1 lunch ticket and additional lunch tickets are available for $20 each + HST.

BECOMING A SPONSOR

VIREB’s Conference and Trade Show would not be possible without the generous support

and participation of our colleagues. This year we have 5 Sponsorship Categories ~

Diamond; Platinum; Gold; Silver; and “Friends of VIREB”! All Sponsors will have their

company name displayed prominently during the event. All Sponsors will also be

acknowledged in VIREB’s In Touch Newsletter, which is distributed to our entire

membership.
