5 EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS Every year the AOWMA makes a determined effort to provide valuable educational opportunities for the delegates to the trade show and convention. As the demographic in the industry changes and the industry grows, so the need for education becomes more and more important. As an exhibitor to the 2016 Trade Show, the AOWMA offers your company the opportunity to join us as a partner in education. With the help of supporting members like yourself, we hope to offer a comprehensive program which leads to a new level of education and professionalism in practice. These educational presentations will become part of the convention program and as such are separate from proprietorial technical presentations taking place during the trade show. Educational Partners Principles: 1. Participating exhibitors may submit the abstract of a qualified speaker on topics relating to that industry s field of expertise. If approved the speaker will be allotted one hour for presentation and Q & A. ONLY NON-PRODUCT PROMOTIONAL PRESENTATIONS WILL BE PERMITTED. 2. Speakers must have speaking experience. Speakers represent not only their company or educational institution, but also the AOWMA, therefore a smooth delivery is essential. 3. Speakers will submit their proposed abstract and full presentation to the AOWMA for weeks prior to the convention for final approval, scheduling, and inclusion in the convention proceedings. 4. Speakers will supply AOWMA with a brief biography and a photo for the convention magazine. Speaker Application: Company Name: Speaker Name: Address: City: Province: Postal Code/ZIP: Phone: Fax: Cell: Topic Title: Brief Description of Topic Presentation: Fax to or toll-free Upon receipt of the above form in our office, you will be contacted about your presentation. 4

7 ADDITIONAL MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES PRINT ADVERTISING Everyone knows that the better your advertising, the better the client pick-up you will see during and after the show. Each exhibitor package includes an opportunity to advertise your company and products in our Trade Show magazine. These opportunities range from ads as small as a business card, to full-page ads. Make sure that you submit your ad to our office as early as possible to ensure that you do not miss out on this excellent advertising option. Contact our office if you don t have an ad and need some help, if you want to upgrade to a larger sized ad, or if you wish to purchase additional ad space and we will be happy to help you maximize your marketing.

Each person who attends the show receives a delegate bag. Enclosed within is an array of marketing items. These can range from business cards to flyers, and even branded merchandise. This is an excellent way to ensure that all delegates take home your company s information and maybe something more. People love free stuff and including something in our bags ensures that all delegates know who you are, even if they miss your booth. Some examples of suitable items are listed below. Those planning to participate should ensure to provide no less than 500 pieces of your enclosure.
