Specialty Lounges

Put your company's name in front of the lounges where your clients will gather!

You are free to drop by from time to time to say hi to the attendees.

You can have a training session for your existing clients and/or a marketing session for prospects. We provide the theater in a bustling expo hall; your job is to fill the seats and thrill the attendees!

Extra booths - $2,500 per booth

Is one booth not enough? Then get as much space as you need.

If your company primarily sells to one of those geographic areas, why not sponsor a table for the two-day expo?
