Information for Potential Exhibitors and Sponsors

Sponsor a Break!

As an alternative to exhibiting, companies and organizations are welcome to sponsor a break or meal during the conference:

• Morning and afternoon breaks: $500

• Breakfast: $750

• Luncheon: $1,000

Companies interested in so doing should contact the MFPT Executive Director to negotiate the amount and type of publicity, advertising and “podium time” that they would like in return for their support and in keeping with the level of sponsorship selected.

Exhibit Space

Both six foot tables and eight by ten foot booths are available for exhibitors.  Each location includes a 6 ft table and two chairs; the booths include back and side drapery.  The cost per table is $950 and the cost per booth is $1350.  The fee for either includes:

• Registration for two Company representatives to man the booth, and have full access to the technical Conference

• Display of your company logo and description on this website

Exhibitors may add additional representatives, either at the full conference attendee rate or, for $250 each, representatives who will remain in the exhibitor area and not attend any technical sessions.  These representatives may attend all the social functions.  Please contact Rick Wade by email or phone (937 256 2285) if you are interested in using this option.

Shipments

As last year, we are requesting that you use our appointed drayage service to ship your exhibit materiel to the Conference venue.  This year it is Tradeshow Services Inc, who are based in Clayton, OH, which is close to Dayton.  This will the avoid hotel space and liability issues that we have faced in the past, and should simplify the delivery and recovery of your exhibit materiel.  Although they will levy a charge from you for their services, TSI will corral any items you ship to them, deliver them to your booth or table in time for set up, store your containers during the Conference, and collect your items after the Conference to deliver them to your designated carrier.

In order to use their services, please complete the forms below and fax them to TSI at (937) 832-1904.  Note that:

• The service costs $62 per 100lb

• You need to ensure your items arrive at TSI by Friday 20 April 2012

For further information, please contact Roger Miller at TSI on (937) 832-0144 or roger@tradeshow-services.com.
