THe GATLINBURG CONVENTION CENTER
The Tennessee Narcotic Officers Association (TNOA) Fall Conference is set to take place from October 21 to October 25, 2024, at the Gatlinburg Convention center located at 234 Historic Nature Trail, Gatlinburg, TN 37738. The event will kick off at 8:00 a.m. on October 21st and conclude at 12:00 noon on October 25th. Vendors can check in and begin setting up on Sunday October 20th, once conference registration has opened that afternoon. There will be regular breaks during training each day to allow attendees to visit the vendor tables.
Vendor tables will be positioned in the walkway, outside the training room doors, to maximize exposure. Table assignments will be given by TNOA staff upon the vendor's first arrival and remain fixed throughout the conference. Per the venue, vendors will be required to pay a fee (paid to the venue not TNOA) if they need electricity. The fee is $100 if purchased before the start of the event and $120 if purchased on the day of the event. Please utilize this link, provided by the venue, for the online purchase of electricity: https://exhibitors.venueops.com/exhibitorStore/account-2098-A/exhibition-1857-A
Extension cords, surge protectors, etc., will not be supplied by TNOA.
Please note that while the venue staff will secure the building overnight, TNOA is not accountable for safeguarding any vendor property, and vendors are responsible for securing their belongings. The vendor area may be accessed by non-law enforcement individuals such as venue staff, venue video surveillance, and other guests. TNOA staff will work to maintain these areas for law enforcement officers only but may lack complete authority or resources to do so.
Vendors interested in taking part in the conference giveaways, involving an item of their choice, should contact TNOA via email at contacttnoa@gmail.com for further details and arrangements. TNOA staff will manage the display and distribution of products each day at the conference.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2024 Fall TNOA Conference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
