Large Events to Promote Vocations through Presence and Exhibits

Consider presence first before exhibiting to learn more about each event and its organization.  Ask in your Member Area if others are going or can share helpful insights about the event, especially housing options. Please click on each link to find out the costs for registration, exhibit tables, etc. Don't forget to check out what is already happening in the dioceses where your institute ministers for more affordable options, especially youth and young adult gatherings.
