Join us at PROGRESS this May! PROGRESS is OGR's signature annual meeting that offers an unprecedented opportunity to maximize your valuable time through access to our members for the entire event.
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 PROGRESS 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!
IMPORTANT: You will need to log-in to your OGR account to register using member pricing. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
Please note that if you are an OGR Endorsed Supplier, you are entitled to a complimentary booth. Please email [email protected] for your discount code to use at checkout.
