Outdoor Vendor Demo

Thursday June 12, 2008 •  8:30 am to 5:00 pm Metawampe Lawn, just outside the Campus Center Free to Conference Booth Exhibitors, $500 for others

We have opened up the courtyard  lawn for a rare opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their technologies or equipment. The “outdoor exhibit hall” will be available on a first-come, first served basis to a limited number of vendors. Intrusive drilling or sampling will be an option that is feasible given the proper protocols and advance planning.

This one-of-a-kind marketing opportunity is free to conference booth exhibitors.

This is a rare opportunity to take conference exhibition to another level. After spending the day on Tuesday and Wednesday talking with conference participants about your technology or equipment, spend the day on Thursday showing and involving them. On Thursday, you will be able to utilize both the indoor and outdoor exhibit halls because both will be equally well attended. While the demo area will be available all day Thursday, the conference has dedicated a 2-hour slot from 8:30 to 10:30 am specifically for the Vendor Demos.

For vendors offering tabletop demonstrations, tables and chairs will be available. Large equipment vendors will be given approximately 40 by 40 feet of space to showcase their equipment. Contact Jane at 413.545.2842 for more details regarding this amazing opportunity to reach hundreds of environmental professionals solely focused on learning as much as possible about advancements in real time measurement, sampling approaches, and other Triad “tools.”

Note: Space is limited. You must check for availability at 413-545-2842 or conferences@tei.umass.edu before choosing this option on the registration form!
