Last year's event attracted approximately 800 participants to the Twin Lakes Recreation Center. Through various streams of media, we encourage individuals age 50 years and older, who are looking for products and services, to attend and find out what Bloomington and surrounding communities have to offer! The event features free health screenings, featured speakers, demonstrations, shuttle services for both visitors and vendors, and a huge Expo exhibitor hall!

 

The 50+ Expo is the ideal place to promote YOUR products and services. Not only is premium exhibit space available, but there are also several levels of sponsorship that exponentially increase the value of your marketing dollar by including your company name in the 50+ Expo program, in promotional materials, and through on-site announcements.

 

This year's Expo takes on the theme of AROUND THE WORLD! Look through the information below to choose the exhibit option and/or sponsorship level that fits your business best. Take advantage of sponsorship benefits and early bird pricing by submitting your registration by Friday, March 28. Registrations received after this date increase by $25. We'll accept booth reservations until Friday, April 25 or until all booth spaces are filled. Exhibit space is limited and is available on a first-come,  

first-served basis.
