Registration forms may be submitted online, by e-mail or by U.S. postal mail, but registration will not be considered complete until payment is received by 3RWW. Please note that we will accept exhibitor registrations after July 22, but we cannot guarantee your company information will be included in the printed conference booklet.
· Booth Fee: 10 X 10 - $850, 10 X 10 Corner/End Booth - $1,000, OR 20 X 20 - $1,900
The booth fee covers your exhibit space and one staffer per booth. (Large-scale booths include two staffers.) Additional booth personnel staffing your booth are $100/each. Each registration includes access to the educational sessions, conference materials and a continental breakfast and buffet lunch on both days and any refreshment breaks throughout the conference.
· Exhibit Booths
Each exhibit space is 10 ft. x 10 ft. (100 square feet) will include a 6 ft. X 30 in. skirted table, two chairs and a wastebasket. Large-scale booths will be 20 X 20 (400 square feet) and will include 2 tables, 4 chairs, and a wastebasket. Each booth will be separated by pipe and drape. Exhibitors will be in the North Hall of the Monroeville Convention Center, which is a warehouse-like (uncarpeted) space.
If two or three booth spaces are purchased by a single exhibitor, the pipe and drape will be positioned to section off a 20 ft. x 10 ft. or 30 ft. x 10 ft. space. Exhibitors also will have wireless internet access free of charge. Please note: If you need a 110v electrical connection, you will need to order that connection ($75 total for both days) through the MCC service order form.
· Large-Scale Exhibit Space & Demonstrations
For exhibitors who have large-scale displays or want to demonstrate large equipment, we offer exhibit spaces of 400 square feet for a discounted price of $1,900. Vehicles and other large pieces of equipment can be brought into the exhibit hall for display. An outdoor parking area right outside the North Entrance of the Convention Center is available for demonstrations that are not permitted inside. (i.e. No chemicals can be mixed inside the Convention Center). We do not have a specific schedule of outdoor demonstrations, but if you plan to do a demo, it must be scheduled during one of the 45-minute session breaks and/or the 90-minute lunch break. Exhibitors are free to promote their outdoor demonstration through fliers and posters. If requested, we will also make an announcement prior to the session break/lunch break informing attendees of the demonstration.
• Booth Selection
Exhibitor booth locations will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. On the registration form, you will be asked for booth location choice. Once your registration form is received, your booth request will be reviewed and assigned. You will receive an e-mail notification of your booth assignment shortly after we receive your completed registration form and payment.
If the same booth location is requested simultaneously, the exhibitor who has the most longevity as a 3RWW conference exhibitor and/or conference sponsor will get priority. In this situation, we will contact you to select an alternate booth location. We will update and post an exhibit hall map for your reference on our web site to assist you in selecting a booth location that is still available.
· Electricity Request/Special Services
To request electricity (110 amp - $75 for quad box installation for both days) or other services as necessary, please complete the Monroeville Convention Center (MCC) Service Form and submit it to the MCC. Please note that if you want to coordinate with your neighboring exhibitor, you can share the cost of a quad box installation that will provide you both with ample electricity. If you need special audio-visual equipment or services, please contact Tracy Schubert for the appropriate audio-visual contact.
• Additional Booth Personnel
Please DO NOT register additional exhibit personnel through the printed conference booklet registration form or the online attendee registration form. If you have already submitted your Exhibitor Registration Form to 3RWW and need to change the names of registered exhibit staff or you need to register additional personnel, please contact 3RWW. It is important that we have all correct names and e-mail addresses for individuals staffing your booth to provide them with the appropriate EXHIBITOR badge and instructions for conference set-up, the social networking event, exhibit hall times, etc.
· Your Company Profile
Your 50-word company profile will be included in the conference booklet distributed to more than 1,200 potential attendees and to 400+ conference attendees. Due to production deadlines, we must receive the company description with your completed application or your company profile by July 22 or we cannot guarantee your description will be listed. The Conference Contact person listed on your registration form and their contact information will be printed with your company profile.
· Exhibitor-Sponsored Prize Drawing
Increase traffic to your booth by participating in prize drawing. For only $60, exhibitors have the opportunity to increase their booth traffic through a prize-drawing strategy. Conference attendees are provided with an entry form that will require them to visit all participating exhibitors before they can enter the prize drawing. The prize(s) available will depend on the level of participation we receive from exhibitors. (One lucky winner will take home a gift card tree, typically valued over $1,000, for places like Amazon, Lowe’s, Target, Giant Eagle, etc.) If interested, please be sure to complete that portion of your registration form and include the $60 payment in your booth registration fee.
· Sponsorships
This year we once again have many sponsorship opportunities available on a first-come, first-served basis. All sponsors will receive special signage at the conference, recognition during the conference session announcements, and a company logo in the conference booklet (if sponsorship is obtained before the booklet printing). Sponsors will also be given the opportunity to submit a company marketing flier or brochure to be included in the conference materials provided to each attendee.
Payment must be received to reserve the opportunity. If you’re interested in a sponsorship opportunity, please complete the sponsorship form and also indicate the sponsorship on your Exhibitor Registration form in the payment section. If you are interested in a sponsorship, but do not see one that exactly fits your needs/preferences, please contact Tracy Schubert. We may be able to customize a sponsorship option for you.
