Swag Bag Items

    Each person attending the BPG will receive a gift bag full of information and little reminder items (post it notes, pens, etc.).  Please fill out the following and let us know what you will be sending.

    Exhibitor Application

    During the BPG, there will be an area for exhibitions / vendor tables.  This is a free opportunity available to all ministries and organizations connected with the Episcopal Church or those who have religious related items to sell.  You will be invited to donate money to support a ministry of the BPG and you will receive details in April.

Exhibitor Information

We are excited to see you in July!

Some information to help you plan:

1.  Registration:  Please register.  Registration covers food.  You will receive breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday and snacks and beverages throughout both days.  You are welcome to all of the plenary events and to visit any workshops. 

2.  Sponsorships:  We created a low-cost event so that all could come and participate.  Sponsors are bridging the gap between registration revenue and actual costs.  As an exhibitor, we are glad to make space for you and are not charring a table fee.  If you are able (and not already a sponsor), we invite you to make a sponsorship donation to either the “children’s program” or “musicians”.  All sponsors will be recognized in advertising and at the event.
Please reply to me with any sponsorship that you are providing.
Please send your sponsorship check written to the Diocese of Chicago with “Prov V BPG” in the memo line.
