THE NEXT BIG THING...
It was great to see many of you in September. The next big event is May 2nd and 3rd. We hope to see you all out this great women's show. It will help you have a great 2008.
GENERAL BOOTH QUESTIONS
Booth amenities: You can supply your own booth items, but DIAMOND RENTAL is an excellent supplier. They supply everything except for internet connections. Many commonly ordered items include draped tables, chairs, carpet and electricity. Click here to download an Exhibitor Packet from Diamond. Our contact is Sharon at 801.222.9311 or at sharonc@diamondrental.com. An exhibitor packet will be mailed to you apporximately one month prior to the show. It will also be available for download right here online by August 16th. The MCKAY EVENTS CENTER supplies internet connection. Cost is $150 for the show (plus a $75 deposit on the networking card, if needed). Order anytime before set up day by calling Jared at 801.376.5910.
Booth design rules: We are fortunate in our state to not have a lot of set-up and design regulations. All booth amenities must be within the alotted space (nothing in the isles) unless pre-approved. Anything deemed unsafe in the opinion of the expo organizer (such as tipping hazards) will be required to change. We also ask that there be no solid side walls on your booth that block the view to your neighbors for the attendees that are walking down the isle. The provided drape rods will support normal banners but in general are not to be used as booth support. No helium balloons please.
Set up day: Thursday, September 6th, anytime between 8 a.m. & 8 p.m. We stongly encourage all to finish set-up on that day, as the main loading dock area won't be available on Friday. Check in at the desk near the loading dock (north end) for exhibitor badges, etc. Loading and unloading only in the back lot. During expo, please park in the north main lots.
Take down: Anytime after 8 p.m. (to 11 p.m.) on Saturday. No early take downs please.
TICKETS AND PASSES
Each exhibitor will receive general admission tickets. You may also have custom tickets made for your company to distribute. You can order up to 500 custom tickets for $100 dollars. Custom tickets are not available after August 10th.
DOOR PRIZES
We welcome giveaways from all exhibitors wishing to do so. This is a good opportunity for a little added promotion at the show. You may do basically any giveaway you'd like from your own booth, but if you would like us to help you promote it the minimum price of the giveaway must be $200. Limit one major giveaway per day. The Expo guide that will be handed out at the front door will include a list of all companies and thier prizes. We will do an overhead announcement about the giveaway. If you'd like to participate please contact Roxanne (368.7118).

It is a media-wide campain including KSL-TV, I-15 billboards, I-15 poster boards and city billboards, UV Magazine, The Daily Herald newspaper, retail ticket distribution points, independent ticket mailings, women's group e-mail campaigns and county-wide ticket distribution through local school districts. 100% of the proceeds from these tickets will go back to the schools.
