Exhibit Booths
One of the most effective
ways to reach new clients is to meet them face-to-face while
exhibiting at the AAMFT Annual Conference. Hosting an exhibit
booth will not only allow you to introduce your organization
to new contacts, but it is also the perfect time to
re-establish relationships with existing and former clients.
 Conference
attendees will be excited to learn about and purchase your
products or services.
