Trade Show Door Prize

There will be door prize drawings at each exhibitor booth during the Trade Show on Tuesday afternoon. We strongly encourage all exhibitors to participate by providing a door prize for attendees.

One of the most common questions we receive is, "What should I bring?" The choice is entirely up to you. Popular options include Amazon or Visa gift cards, themed gift baskets, TVs, local products, or other fun giveaways.

Door prizes are a great way to attract attendees to your booth, create engagement, and leave a lasting impression. Have fun with it!

Sponsorship Opportunities

There will be plenty of sponsorship opportunities and we will send more information soon.
