Exhibitor Information

Illinois Student Ministries deeply values our partnership with Assemblies of God colleges and universities. These schools provide students with opportunities to pursue higher education in an environment that is Christ-centered and filled with like-minded peers.

For this reason, we welcome representatives from Assemblies of God schools to host exhibitor booths at Momentum Conference. Please note the following guidelines:

• Booth Management: ISM does not handle booth setup, operation, or storage/mailing of booth materials. Each school is responsible for sending capable representatives who can clearly and concisely communicate with students and leaders.
• Booth Assignments: Locations will be pre-assigned and provided at the event.
• Registration: All exhibitor representatives must pre-register in advance. Onsite exhibitor registrations are not available. Exhibitor registration is non-refundable, and fees will not be returned for no-shows.
• Volunteers: Schools are also invited to send volunteer groups to serve behind the scenes and learn more about how Momentum Conference operates. If you are interested in this option, please contact ISM directly at ilsmonline@idcag.org.
