Enhancements to the SHOWCASE:

• The Conference program offers an Exhibitors Track designed to meet the needs of the many attendees that come to the conference looking for solutions and services providers. Within this track, in a panel discussion format, exhibitors present their distinguishing characteristics and their key challenges and innovations from a product and services perspective. A limited number of slots are available to registered exhibiting organizations, and they will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• The Exhibitors track will be clearly identified on the conference brochure and agenda.
• A web page on the conference web site will be devoted to the Exhibitors track and will identify the speakers and their topics alongside corporate logos and links to their web sites.
• Exhibitors are asked to contribute two items, prior to the event, which will be added to the pool of door prizes given away at the end of each day, to SHOWCASE attendees.
• Exhibitors may provide brochures or flyers in advance of the conference, to be given to attendees upon arrival along with the conference materials.
• Special events such as prize lotteries, book signings, and break-time snacks are held in the SHOWCASE area, to bring in additional traffic.
