Pre Registration Bags: Your company must provide these bags. Bags must be large enough to comfortably hold 8.5”x11” paper materials or larger. Your company’s logo may be printed on the bags. You must be willing to provide us with a minimum of 500 bags. Bags will be stuffed with promotional items from event advertisers, sponsors, and the show by volunteers and then distributed at the event to those attendees that pre registered their passes with us. *This is an excellent advertisement opportunity to any business wishing to gain a lot of exposure! These bags will be carried literally all over the event throughout the show. Bags for distribution must be submitted to the event staff no later than one month before the event.

Samples or Advertisements for the Pre Registration Bags: For the fee of $150 we can distribute samples or advertisements for your business in our pre-registration bags. You must provide the materials that you wish to be distributed and have at least 500 of each. Materials for distribution must be submitted to the event staff no later than two weeks before the event.

Lanyards: You must be willing to provide the show with at least 500 lanyards. These may display your company’s logo. The lanyards must have the ‘dog chain’ safety clasp on them for us to be able to attach badges to them during the event. All attendees and staff must wear their badge at the event throughout the show and most attendees save their lanyards after the event is over for everyday use! Lanyards must be delivered to the event no later than 2 months prior to the start date of the event.

Badges: For a contribution of $500 your logo can be printed on our event passes just below our show logo and dates. Almost all event attendees traditionally save and collect their membership badges from these types of events and wear them to other shows! Badges are produced like trading cards with full color on card stock then laminated at registration with the attendees name on them. Logo design must be delivered to the event in PDF. Format at 350 DPI no later than 2 months prior to the start date of the event.

Banner Displays: For a fee of $200 you can display a banner at the event in our main entrance or near the registration area in the main hallway of the event space. You must provide your own banner and handle the hanging of the banner and its removal yourself at the event. *There is only room for 4 banners at the event other than main Sponsors Banners.

Event Prizes: Your business may choose to contribute merchandise, gift certificates, or cash for any of our events or for the charity raffle. Your flier and or business card will be included with the prize when it is awarded and you will be mentioned publicly by a staff member to the attendees as the donor of the prize when it is awarded in an event. You will also be listed in the program guide book as a prize donor with the information for your business (web site, etc.) Merchandise must be valued at least at $10 per item and above.

Flier Distribution on Event Tables: There will be a few tables in the hotel hallways where fliers and advertisements may be laid out for attendees to see. No unregistered vendor, business, or other individual may solicit at these tables. There is a fee of $35 to make use of these tables to distribute your promotional materials. Any materials left out by an unregistered source will be discarded and not returned to the distributor protecting the advertisement rights of those advertisers who are contributing to the event.
