The Presentation Summit, Oct 7-10
Opportunities for Third-Party
Vendors and Partners
The Presentation Summit promises to bring together over 200 of the most ambitious and dedicated users of presentation software and technology. The following opportunities are available to organizations whose products and services complement and contribute to the atmosphere of learning and discovery that we create.
The Summit Expo
We have space for up to 20 exhibitors to showcase their products and technology at The Expo, all day on Tuesday, October 9. Companies are permitted to sell products directly from the floor.
Participation at the Expo includes:
- A skirted table and two chairs
- Microphone time to discuss products and conduct give-aways.
- Authorization to sell product and distribute literature
- One-paragraph description in Conference Guide
- Complete access to all conference daytime events, including meals, for two people (special pricing available for extra representatives)
- No hidden drayage or third-party fees
- Access to conference attendee list for post-conference follow-up
- Donation to our Prize Pool of product to be awarded as prizes
You can choose just to exhibit at the Expo or you can sign on to one of the sponsorships described below to provide additional exposure and connectedness with patrons.
Opening Night Reception
By Sunday evening, just about all patrons will be in house, checked in, and ready to unwind. This is a perfect opportunity to make a great first impression as they enjoy their favorite beverage and hors d’oeuvres. Your hosting of this reception will be actively advertised ahead of time and prominently displayed during the reception. You will also get about five minutes of microphone time as one of the first people to greet everyone and if you so choose, the very first prize donor of the conference.
Sponsorship of the Reception includes:
- Prominent display from 3:00pm until close of event (approximately 6:00pm), with a skirted table, your own display booth, or other signage.
- Opportunity to address the entire group and award the first prize of the conference.
- Spot reserved at the Expo, included with sponsorship fee—all of the exhibit privileges extended to you.
T-Shirt Sponsor
All patrons receive a 100% cotton conference shirt as part of their registration. Your company could be the presenting sponsor for the shirt and have its logo prominently displayed on the back of the shirt. Our long-lasting shirts are regularly worn for years—we have regular patrons who are still wearing the all-black and rich purple shirts from earlier years.
Duffle Bag
In addition to shirts, we distribute sturdy and attractive canvas totes to every patron, and your company’s name and logo could be imprinted on every one of them. These are much better than the cheap bags given out at trade shows, and as a result, our patrons tend to take our bags with them to other shows.
Lanyard for Badges
Your company’s name can adorn the high-quality cotton lanyard. Lanyards will be distributed to each conference attendee at registration and worn throughout the event (it’s one of our few requirements—patrons must wear their badges!). This is a great opportunity for name recognition with each patron.
These three sponsorships include:
- Opportunity to create attractive artwork, delivered electronically to us
- Company information distributed from our Literature Table throughout event
- Access to conference attendee list for post-conference follow-up
- Spot reserved at the Expo, included with sponsorship fee—all of the exhibit privileges extended to you.
Lunchtime Keynote Addresses
Lunch is on us at the Summit and that guarantees you 100% attendance as a lunchtime host. In addition to the advance advertising, prominent signage, and distribution of literature, you would get a ten-minute opportunity to address the group during their dessert.
Lunch sponsorship includes:
- Opportunity to address the group when they are at their most receptive (seated, comfortable, enjoying a hosted lunch).
- Company information distributed from our Literature Table throughout event
- Spot reserved at the Expo, included with sponsorship fee—all of the exhibit privileges extended to you.
The Trivia Contest
Monday afternoon, after the seminars have concluded, our main ballroom transforms with the playing of our wild and wacky trivia contest. The beverages are flowing, spirits and energy are high, and it is the perfect venue to show yourself as a prominent member of the PowerPoint community. In addition to the advance advertising and prominent signage, we work your company into the game, with a question about it and the opportunity for one of your representatives to participate.
Trivia sponsorship includes:
- Sole company to preside over this festive event Monday afternoon.
- Opportunity to address the group during the contest and embed one question about your product into the actual game.
- Spot reserved at the Expo, included with sponsorship fee—all of the exhibit privileges extended to you.
Vendor Showcases
We have openings on Monday and Wednesday for no more than two companies to set up a display right in the heart of Conference Central (the ballroom which houses Registration, the Help Center, the lounge, and the theater for keynote addresses). You would be able to greet patrons and demo your products or services for the entire day.
Being in the Vendor Showcase Includes:
- Prominent display from 8:00am until 4:00pm, either with a skirted table or your own display booth.
- Opportunity to address the entire group, describe your products or services, and award a prize.
- Power-drop supplied by the conference; Internet and/or telephone services available
- Company information distributed from our Literature Table throughout event.
- Access to conference attendee list for post-conference follow-up.
- Spot reserved at the Expo, included with sponsorship fee—all of the exhibit privileges extended to you.
Evening Off-Site Events
In addition to the daytime sponsorships, there are opportunities for our partners to host evening events throughout vibrant downtown Scottsdale. Our team can work with you on finding a venue, negotiating pricing, and publicizing it to the patrons. There are many options to fit many budgets, and we would work with you to tailor the right program for your organization.
Sunday Evening Focus Group
Our third-party partners are regularly engaged in new technologies and products and they recognize the value of seeking the feedback from a group of impassioned presentation professionals. If you would like to convene a focus group with a select number of patrons and staff people, we can help you with that.
The time that we reserve for focus groups is Sunday evening, October 7. We can help you secure meeting space at the hotel and create the invite list. There is no charge for this service and our host hotel will most likely provide complimentary meeting space. You would be expected to provide dinner for the group.
Donate to our Prize Pool
If you are unable to attend the conference, you can still have a significant presence by making a donation to our Prize Pool, which overflows to the tune of about $15,000 in product to be awarded.
Donating to our Prize Pool:
- Products awarded in sessions where there is 100% attendance.
- Product and company information read before prize is awarded.
- Printed information distributed from our Literature Table throughout event.
