Conference Updates All 2026 Conference Sponsorship Opportunities have been reserved! Please visit our Vendors page for further upcoming opportunities. Conference OpportunityAll vendor booth reservations must be made in advance. Our venue, growing vendor attendance, as well as potential gathering size limits / impacts allowable conference attendees. We're requesting that you carefully choose the sponsorship level to accommodate the number of expected attendees. Additionally, there is a set amount of sponsorships allowed at each level (see above); there will not be an ability to upgrade your sponsorship after registration. There also is no provision for additional vendor attendees, nor multiple vendor attendees sharing a single attendance spot (no attendee rotation). If you must send more attendees, consider choosing a higher sponsorship level, reserving another table, or reducing your attendee count. Take note of the registration type's attendee limit. Be sure to choose a Vendor Registrant Type (sponsorship level). Your first attendee is recorded along with the sponsorship. When registering, we suggest that you only record the initial attendee, in order to complete your registration quickly. Mi-GMIS will send out a subsequent email requesting additional attendee information as well as a high-resolution logo for Platinum, Gold, and Silver sponsors. If you choose to pay by check, mail to:Mi-GMIS P.O.
