AN INVITATION TO EXHIBITORS & SPONSORS

 On behalf of the Florida Cemetery, Cremation & Funeral Association, it is my pleasure to invite your company to
 participate in the 2021 FCCFA Annual Convention & Trade Show. The convention will take place July 15 - 17 at the
 Boca Raton Resort & Club in Boca Raton, Florida.

 The theme for the 2021 Convention is “Charting the Course” and that has never been more relevant than now. This
 year our convention will be held in the historic Boca Raton Resort & Club where we will focus on the importance of
 “charting a course” for improving service to families through our funeral homes and cemeteries and related
 partners. The relationships we have with you, our vendors and suppliers, are paramount components of the success
 in all of our businesses. I encourage you to participate in the FCCFA convention. This is a great investment for your
 company and will also provide you with valuable networking opportunities that will increase your return on
 investment as an exhibitor and/or sponsor.

 The FCCFA Convention is unique in design. The trade show, general sessions, as well as other activities will all take
 place in one location in the trade show hall. We have scheduled lunch on Friday, a reception on Friday evening,
 breakfast on Saturday and trade show breaks each day between the educational sessions to provide your company
 networking opportunities with the attendees while showcasing your products and services. This convention is a
 great way to meet the most providers in one location during 2021 and provide an exceptional experience for your
 company.

 We invite you to participate in this excellent opportunity and look forward to seeing you in July in Boca!

 Sincerely,
 Lisa Coney
 FCCFA President
