Breakfast, lunch, and scheduled breaks will take place within the Sponsor Display Zone.
All sponsors will receive one 6’ table with a plain tablecloth. You are welcome to provide a custom tablecloth if you’d like. You may include tabletop displays, brochures, giveaway items, business cards, etc., but all items must be fully on the table. IMPORTANT – Pop-up booth backdrops or pull-up signs are not permitted due to limited space in the ballroom.
Tables will be labelled with your company name onsite to assist you. All tables are around the room perimeter, and assigned by random draw after Platinum Sponsors have been assigned to central locations first.
Please keep in mind that this is a display opportunity, not a full trade show. Chairs will not be provided at your table as you are not expected to sit behind your table throughout the event. We encourage your team to sit at the banquet tables, enjoy meals and snacks, network, and mingle with our attendees during all available opportunities.
Power and other services are not provided. If you have special needs, please reach out so we can put you in touch with the venue.
The venue offers exclusive catering services. If you are planning to distribute food or beverage samples, please reach out so we can put you in touch with the venue to seek approval. Restrictions and fees may apply.
Prior to the event, all sponsors will receive three unique codes good for the number of registrations included in your sponsorship package (complimentary staff registrations, complimentary facility operator registrations, and early bird staff registrations). Be on the lookout for an email from Aarti with registration instructions and your custom codes.
One representative from each sponsoring company will have the opportunity to participate in FEC Live! Throughout the event, our host will ask sponsors one question about their products or services. This is your brief chance to shine and share what makes your company unique! More details will be shared at the sponsor meeting on Sunday, January 19, but you can relax! This is a fun, no-pressure activity and nothing needs to be prepared in advance.
PLEASE NOTE: Sponsors will have access to Connect+ once it has been opened to sponsors, and they are registered for the event.
The Connect+ app will be your main source of information during FEC Summit. It will allow you to gain access to the full list of attendees, interact with attendees, schedule meetings, and much more!
Prior to accessing Connect+, you must be registered for the event. It is important that all sponsors register using a unique email address to sync with their Connect+ profile.
All Platinum level sponsors will be recognized via a Connect+ push notification to registered attendees.
To access Connect+, click here. You can also download the mobile app in the App Store or Google Play, although we recommend editing your digital profile on a desktop.
Each sponsoring company has a primary contact for Connect+ who is eligible to make edits for the company profile. This primary contact can also link other registered individuals to the profile. They should all receive an email with access into Connect+.
For technical support, please reach out to [email protected].
We are pleased to provide all sponsors with the benefit of reaching all registered, opted-in FEC Summit attendees through email campaigns. This extremely valuable benefit provides the unique opportunity to engage directly with registered attendees.
