VENDOR PRESENTATION OPPORTUNITIES
Please keep the abstract to a brief description. You may upload a supporting pdf document within the abstract submittal process if you feel the committee needs to see more detail to make a decision. Note: If you are selected to present, your abstract will be seen in the mobile app during the conference. The abstract will serve as an introduction to the presentation topic, not outline the entire presentation. Vendors should use this opportunity to attract Users to their discussion.

- Presentations must be technical in nature – addressing design issues, improving performances, troubleshooting, results from RCA studies, etc. Selling and other related activities are limited to the vendor fair only.
- Presentations must focus on currently available technology/processes/systems/components. Presentation attendees shall not be utilized as a makeshift focus group for future product development…that’s for the vendor fair if you choose.
- Multiple abstracts may be submitted. While this does not guarantee your company will be chosen to present, it can certainly increase your odds of submitting a hot topic of interest for the upcoming conference. All abstracts will be reviewed by all steering committees and could be chosen by any of them.
- Abstracts will only be accepted through the attached link on this page.
- The steering committees reserve the right to approve or deny any abstract submitted for the annual conferences.
- Presentation topics may not be changed once chosen by the steering committee. If a topic change is necessary, the steering committee reserves the right to cancel your topic and fill the space with another presentation.

IMPORTANT: Cancellations for double booking booths will be charged a $75.00 administrative fee.
Important Notes/Helpful Hints for open registration on 3/05/25:
-
- There is no option to purchase more than one booth.
- If you hit the button at 11:59 AM, it will not go anywhere. It is set to open at 12:00 PM, Eastern.
- Review floor plan, pricing, inclusions, terms and conditions, etc. and get your questions answered and any approvals needed from your company prior to date the link opens. I would hate to see you miss the opportunity to secure a booth because you are waiting for answers and/or approvals.
- If the registration system does not accept your credit card, change the form of payment to “check” and finish your registration. You can call us later to change the form of payment and we can figure out why the credit card wasn’t accepted. Many times it is a case of an incorrect billing address or card number entered incorrectly.
- Please do not call or send an email on 3/05/25 and expect an immediate response. We receive lots of calls on booth registration day and all booths may be gone by the time we can get back to you. Reading all details on the “Vendor Fair” tab usually answers 95% of the questions we receive the day the link goes live.
INVOICE/RECEIPT:
- Your emailed confirmation has a button link to open and print your invoice/receipt.
MODIFY EXISTING VENDOR REGISTRATION / ADD BOOTH REPS:
- If you have confirmed a booth and need to make changes to your registration and/or add booth reps, use the link below.
- You will need the email address and reference number from your emailed booth confirmation.
- If it is not in your inbox, check your junk, spam or other folders. Those are usually the culprits.
