Information for Exhibitors

The Pierce County Health Careers Council is hosting up to 1000 students from all areas of Pierce County at the 5th Annual Pierce County Health Career Day.

Exhibitor Information

An important part of the success of this day is the Exhibitor Hall where students can interact with educators and employers.  We hope that you will consider being part of this year’s exciting event.

Exhibitor Hall gives future employers and educators the chance to reach a large number of students all at one time, saving time and money in reaching-out to this population of students who are planning on a career in the healthcare arena.  Each year we receive very positive feedback from student s and teachers who greatly value the information they receive from workshop presenters and exhibitors.

Advance registration is required as space is limited. This year's Health Career Day is being held at Pacific Lutheran University. Exhibitors may arrive as early as 7:45 to begin setting up.
