New! Exhibitor Demonstration Sessions
Exhibitors at the 2016 UPCEA 101st Annual Conference will have the opportunity participate in one Exhibitor Demonstration Session. Held during the concurrent sessions over the course of the conference, Exhibitor Demonstration Sessions provide exhibitors a work station (a round table with seating for 8-10 attendees, Wi-Fi, a monitor, and VGA cable) at which they can host a demonstration, a hands-on learning opportunity, or even a focus group or executive briefing. During the hour-long sessions, Exhibitor Demonstration Sessions presenters are invited to host their activity twice, to allow for connecting with two small groups of attendees.
