ABPM Supplier Celebration Registration Form
Spring 2017 Conference –Boston, MA Monday, March 20
One of the many benefits available to you as an ABPM Supplier member is free exhibit space during the Supplier Celebration at the ABPM Spring Conference. To receive the space (which includes a 10’ x 10’ area with 6’ skirted table and 2 chairs), you must be registered to attend the conference.
Due to space constraints, there are fewer spaces available than there are Supplier Members, so spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Sponsors are guaranteed a space and will receive premier placement in order of level as part of their benefits. We encourage you to register for the conference and return this COMPLETED form as quickly as possible to ensure your company is represented at the Supplier Celebration. Your form will not be accepted unless you have at least one person from your company registered for the Spring 2017 Conference and this form is complete (TBD will not be accepted in * spaces).
An information packet including shipping information, a schematic showing the Supplier Celebration layout, and your location will be sent to you bymid February. Meanwhile, if you are making travel arrangements, set-up time on the day of the Supplier Celebration will be from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Essex Ballroom. With no exceptions,all Suppliers must be set up by 1:00 pm.
If you are shipping items directly to the hotel, you are bringing large items (crates, pallets etc.) orneed items in addition to the skirted table and chairs (electric, AV, etc. - billed directly to you from the hotel), a hotel order form will be provided upon confirmation that you have a space. You should email that form y Friday, March 3rd (however, the earlier the better).

Supplier Solution Revolution Guidelines
The Supplier Solution Revolution is a great way to get briefing professionals and suppliers interacting in a productive and solution-focused activity.
The rules: Conference attendees are given a “Solution Revolution” card at conference check in. The card will have a map of the booths at the Supplier Celebration, 11 squares, and space for their contact information. Attendees will go to Supplier spaces and share their top three program challenges.As Suppliers, you can have a short discussion with the attendee about their challenges. Perhaps you can help solve that challenge with one of your solutions. Or maybe you know another supplier who could. Or perhaps you can connect them with another member who you know has faced the same issue in the past. As a Supplier Member, you are a resource to briefing professionals in the membership. This activity is meant to emphasize that role. After your short discussion, stamp one of the squares on their card and let them move on to the next Supplier. When all their card spaces are stamped, attendees turn the card in at a designated location and are eligible for prizes provided by those Suppliers who wish to provide something (there is no obligation to provide a prize). Prize drawings will be held at the end of the Supplier Celebration. During the drawing, we will draw names and direct the winners (who must be present to win) to the Supplier who donated that prize.
