Tabletop Vendor Exhibit Fair

A tabletop vendor exhibit fair is available, occurring 9:30 am to 4:00 pm on April 21, 2010, with sponsors receiving first priority. These tabletop exhibits give direct contact with attendees to interface and demonstrate products and services. As a traffic enhancer, attendees are encouraged to visit all vendors through a prize drawing. Exhibits are free with some sponsorships or individually for $1,100.

Sponsors Play a Key Role

When an attendee hears that a vendor¿s company is endorsed by one of their peers, the message has a much higher impact. Sponsoring will allow you to immediately take advantage of this third party endorsement while gaining exposure for your company, products and brand to prospects who are the used truck industry decision makers representing over a thousand dealer locations and tens of thousands in buying power.

Sponsorships are affordable, beginning at $750, and have a range of benefits that will allow you to have direct contact with those in the industry making the buying decisions.
