The Utah Narcotic Officers Association is hosting its 17^th annual conference and exhibition show beginning Tuesday September 09^th and closing Thursday the 11^th , 2008, at the Casa Blanca Resort in Mesquite, Nevada. We anticipate having approximately 225 officers and law enforcement personnel attending this year’s conference.

            Vendor booth fees will remain the same as it has for the last several years. Cost is $350 for a single booth and $200 for each additional booth space rented by the same company. In addition to the cost of the booth, UNOA is asking each vendor to donate $100 worth of items to give away to conference attendees as door prizes.

            Vendor show times will be Monday evening during pre-registration, all day Tuesday and Wednesday and till 3:00 pm on Thursday, at which time all vendors will need to break down their booth and clear the vendor area. This space will then be set up for other activities planned by UNOA.

            This year we have doubled our vendor space in a secure room. We plan on having all conference breaks in the vendor area; as well as giving away some of the door prizes that have been donated by the vendors. Even though we have doubled our vendor area, we have limited booth space. UNOA will assign booth space first to those vendors who complete the attached application and return it with their check.

            In addition to vendor booth space, UNOA is soliciting companies and/or individuals who would like to co-sponsor this year’s conference. The cost for co-sponsoring the conference is $1,000. Those companies and/or individuals wishing additional information on this may contact me at

801-836-6778 or e-mail timothy.chard@dhs.gov .

            UNOA wishes to extend their very best to you and hope to see you in September!!

Sincerely,

Special Agent Timothy Chard, President
