Exhibitor Technical Presentations
How better to connect with a captive audience of potential buyers than with a Technical Presentation of your company's goods and services? In 2009, we will have a designated space directly on the trade show floor set aside especially for this purpose. The area will be piped, draped, and outfitted with the necessary audio visual equipment you will need in order to make your pitch.
• Presentations will be given in a designated area directly on the trade show floor during exhibit hours.
• Presentations will be assigned in consecutive half-hour time slots, date TBD.
• Presentations should be technical in nature and thematically linked to the planned discussions.
• Presentations should also be about 30 minutes in length allowing for ten minutes Q&A.
• Presentations are accepted on their educational contribution to the 2009 event.
• Availability and scheduling will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you’d like to make a Technical Presentation in 2009, please contact Richard Leahy by phone 434.293.6230 or email rleahy@vwm-online.com.
