Illinois Telecommunications Association Vendors Showcase 2026
The Illinois Broadband Telecommunications Association (IBTA) will host its 2026 Vendor Showcase from Wednesday September 9 through Friday September 11 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton – East Peoria Hotel & Riverfront Conference Center in East Peoria, IL. The three‑day event features a Premier Sponsor package ($2,500) and multiple sponsorship opportunities (reception, lunch, open‑forum, golf, etc.). Exhibitors can reserve a 6‑foot draped table booth for $600 (member or non‑member) with additional fees for electricity, golf ($175 per person), and a trap‑shoot activity. Shipping instructions require vendors to send booths to the hotel the week of the event and retrieve them after the showcase ends. A new Marketing Communications track will run alongside the showcase, offering sessions for marketers, PR, and member‑engagement professionals. Registration opens in July, with vendor fees ranging from $2,275 for Telco employees to $500 for non‑IBTA exhibitors. The event also includes a golf tournament and networking receptions.
