Vendors will be asked to provide a 1-2 minute introduction of their company/products at the end of the Opening Session. This will lead directly into the Vendor Showcase (part of the ITS Information Assembly) and Vendor Luncheon - a nearly 3-hour networking event.
Vendors are also being asked to donate door prizes. To be eligible for the door prize drawing, attendees must gather at least 15 vendor stamps on their vendor map. Door prizes will be awarded during the Closing Session. |
