Thank you for your interest in Rising Tide, an annual new media conference centered on the recovery and future of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. As with our past conferences, we expect several hundred people to attend this year. The audience we attract is an engaged, civic-minded, educated and social media sawy crowd from all over the Gulf South. These are the types of people who can be evangelists for your brand in print and online. This is not only a fantastic venue to sell your products directly but also a great marketing opportunity. A limited number of spaces are available for you to sell products, connect, and share your organization.

We are offering an early bird discount for those who submit application and payment before July 31 st. Vendor spaces start at $75 and include one full registration to the conference as well as breakfast and lunch. Additional registrations are available at a discounted rate.

Please download the application for complete pricing. Once an application and payment are submitted, Rising Tide would be happy to include your logo and information on the conference website and promotional materials

I grew up in the French Quarter in New Orleans, where my mother's parents had a house a few blocks from Jackson Square. I started drawing on everything at a very early age, and was encouraged to be an artist. Later my parents moved to the west coast, and I lived in the Oregon for several years, where I earned a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. http://www.janebrewster.com
