Vendor showcases are 45 minute breakout sessions designed to provide a forum for vendors to demonstrate their products and technology solutions in a presentation environment. Vendors are defined for this purpose as anyone from a for-profit organization with goods and/or services for sale. This year as an additional benefit of exhibiting, EVERY vendor will be provided with the option of participating in a vendor showcase for no additional cost.

Exhibitors will be given the opportunity to indicate their desire to present in a Vendor Showcase during the registration process. You will be contacted by the Program Committee for the opportunity to submit your presentation description. You will need to provide a brief description, speaker's name and title for your presentation. You may also log back into the website with your user name and password to provide or edit this information. The Vendor Showcase Track Chair will assign a time slot for your presentation.

Your login ID and password will enable you to log back onto the TxDLA conference website in order to do a variety of things including editing or changing your representatives names/contact information for badges, and registering your two complimentary representatives for the full conference. You will also be able to edit your online profile which will appear on the website and in the program, upload your logo for the website, upload any ads you receive as a partner or that you purchase, make payment for your booth with a credit card, and edit vendor showcase information.

Two full conference registrations, including complimentary TxDLA memberships, are included with the Corporate Exhibit Hall booths. These registrations will allow your personnel to be active participants in the conference, and attend all general sessions and meal functions, including the evening dinners and entertainment, which provides opportunities for increased interaction with conference attendees. The Non-Profit registrations do not include any conference registrations.

Yes. TxDLA recognizes the need for more staffing during the Exhibit Hall hours and this year is offering an additional THREE (3) exhibitor badge passes in which business cards can be inserted for identification. These badges can be shared among your booth representatives/workers who will be working at the booth only and not attending the conference. These representatives (who use these badge passes) will NOT be provided with meal tickets. Additional exhibitor attendees above the complimentary two (2) conference registrations and three (3) badge passes will be required to register as a regular attendee.

We are strongly suggesting limiting your videoconference connection speed to a maximum of 384 Kbps. Those folks that will utilize High Definition may use a maximum of 1 Mbps. Any questions should be directed to the conference Technology Chair.

Yes, your Exhibitor login will allow you to access your account and add sponsorships and in-kind contributions, add another booth (and choose your booth location if you have not already done this), upload graphics or company information, add contact information, etc.

Yes! The Conference Planning Committee would like to have the commitment in a timely manner to better facilitate the planning process while being sensitive to the budgeting timelines of many companies. Therefore, payment of the invoice can be arranged after January, 2010 to coincide with the first quarter budgeting cycle. Please plan to pay as soon after the first of the year as possible.

ALL attendees will receive the prevailing government rate at time of check-in for single occupancy and federal per diem plus $50 for double occupancy. This applies to corporate attendees as well, so all vendors will receive this rate.
