Exhibitor Information 

Exhibiting is a great way to market your organization and network with leaders, executives, and stakeholders within the addiction treatment field. The purpose of the exhibits is to compliment the annual conference sessions by enabling registrants access to supporting organizations in the addiction treatment industry.  Exhibit booths for the 2017 NAATP National SOLD OUT 2 months prior to the conference.

Thank you to our 2017 Exhibitors

Sponsorship Information 

Sponsorship compatibility with the conference mission is important.  The National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers reserves the right to determine the eligibility, accepting or rejecting any sponsor that is not in line with the NAATP mission, ethics, character and purpose of the conference. 

Thank you to our 2017 Sponsors
