NAME BADGES

LEAD RETRIEVAL
We are unsure if we will be using Lead Retrieval this year as we have had multiple challenges with providing it at past conferences.  Stay tuned!


VENDOR-SPONSORED SESSIONS
We have a limited number of spaces available for companies that would like to showcase their product in a 1-hour session to be held in the conference rooms.  The registration form will indicate how many vendor sessions are still available for purchase.


EXHIBIT HALL GAME CARD
We will give all participants an “Exhibition Hall Game Card.” again this year.  The card will be used to collect the stamps of at least 20 of this year’s sponsors in the Exhibition Hall as a condition for being entered in the final session prize drawing to win an iPad 2.  We will be providing the stamp this year and ask vendor to provide the pad.  We noticed that the game card encouraged more traffic in the exhibitor pavilion last year increasing our sponsors ability to obtain quality leads.


PRIZE GIVEAWAYS
Please let me know if your company would like to provide a giveaway for the Friday morning raffle drawing for all of our participants taking place in the Burning Stones Plaza at Copper Central. Our vendors traditionally have taken this opportunity to give away items of significant value, such as equipment and software licenses, at this major conference event. If you have smaller items you would like us to stuff in our attendee registration bags, please contact the conference Chairman, Karen Ortiz at [email protected] to coordinate delivery of those items.


QUESTIONS DURING THE CONFERENCE
If you have any questions or needs during the event, please don’t hesitate to ask! You will find me at the TIE Booth (#108) for the majority of the conference. Other TIE Board members will periodically be filling in for me to ensure we cover all responsibilities for this event.  We all look forward to partnering with you this summer!
