Join us at the DeSoto Hotel in Savannah May 7-9, 2024! This unique event offers an unprecedented opportunity to maximize your valuable time through access to our members for the entire Conference.

You won’t be roped off in a separate room waiting for attendees to come visit your booth - suppliers will have full access to all conference events. You'll be side-by-side with our funeral director attendees every step of the way from educational sessions to networking breaks and meals. Not only that, but we will have assigned seating at each event and will use that to guarantee one representative from your company gets a seat at a table with funeral director attendees. No need to worry about having your representative stuck at a table with nothing but other exhibitors!

Online registration for the 2024 Annual Conference is currently closed. Please email [email protected] or call 800-637-8030, ext. 119 if you are still interested in attending.
