Technical Workshops

Manufacturer workshops are your chance to highlight your company's success and expertise in a technical area. They are not sales pitches. They are factual presentations of new solutions to existing problems. There will be two tiers of eight workshops each. The tentative schedule is:

  • Wednesday (Tier #1) 9am – Noon with one coffee break from 10:15-10:45am
  • Wednesday (Tier #2) 1:30-4:30pm with one coffee break from 2:45-3:15pm

Technical Workshops will be highlighted in the Academy's Preliminary Program, featured on the Website, and listed in the Final Program.

Cost to sponsor a Manufacturer Workshop is $850.

Show it – Explain it – Sell it at the Product Display Showcase

Unlike the technical workshops, the product display showcase permits direct sales pitches. This is your chance to display your new product, and/or service in a specially designed theater setting on the show floor. You can demonstrate your product, show a video, do a Q&A you decide! There will be two tiers of product displays. The tentative schedule is:

  • Thursday (Tier #1) 1-1:30pm, 2-2:30pm, 3-3:30pm, 4-4:30pm
  • Friday (Tier #2) 1-1:30pm, 2-2:30pm, 3-3:30pm, 4-4:30pm

Product Display Sponsors will be highlighted in the Academy's Preliminary Program, featured on the Website, and listed in the Final Program.

Cost to be a Product Display Showcase sponsor is $500.

Poster Exhibits Are Economical Approach

One way to gain added exposure for new products is to be part of the poster session. The 4X6' panels provided by the Academy offer an excellent opportunity to supplement booth demonstrations by spotlighting new products and their usage. Panels cost $350 and are in place the same hours as the exhibit hall.
