Exhibitor ShowcasesFriday, March 7, 2014The MFMA Sport Floor Contractor Advisory Council is pleased to continue the hugely successful Exhibitor Showcase Sessions at the MFMA 2014 Conference. We are pleased to provide your company more time with attendees and allow for fantastic face-to-face sales opportunities.

In 2014, we refined the sessions and will offer an additional opportunity to participate in Exhibitor Showcase Lunch Sessions.

Each 2014 MFMA Exhibitor will have an opportunity to present to a captive audience to learn about new or existing products, product maintenance, industry regulations, manufacturer certification programs or provide hands on demonstrations (prior arrangements must be arranged for all demonstrations).

Each 45-minute session will be assigned to participating exhibitors with a minimum/maximum of two sessions for $150. Because these sessions run back-to-back, attendees have the opportunity to attend as many sessions as possible. To promote attendance, attendees are asked to turn in a business card at the end of the session. Then, each participating exhibitor will draw a name and award attendees with a prize at the Evening Reception. MFMA suggests prizes have a retail value of $100 or more. If you have questions or wish to participate, please add the Exhibitor Showcase option to your Exhibit Contract or contact Heather Currier at +1-888-480-9138 ext. 256.
