the Exhibit Hall booths?

- What is the “Welcome
Reception”?
The Texas Distance Learning Association Welcome Reception kicks
off the first night of the conference and is co-partnered, at
no additional cost, by all exhibitors. This event also serves
as the grand opening of the Exhibit Hall and provides a wonderful
opportunity to network with conference attendees in a relaxed,
fun atmosphere. An exciting, high energy keynote session featuring
noted hypnotist Tom Deluca is planned for Tuesday morning and should entice
many conference attendees to arrive on Monday.
- Are conference registrations included with the costs
of the Exhibit Hall booths?
Two full conference registrations,
including complimentary TxDLA memberships, are included with the
Package A Exhibit Hall booths. These registrations will allow your
personnel to attend all general sessions and meal functions, including
the evening dinners and entertainment. Texas Distance Learning
Association recognizes the need for more staffing during the Exhibit
Hall hours and is offering all Package A exhibitors a special conference
rate of just $225 for each additional staff member. Package B Exhibit
Booths do not include any conference registrations.
- May I bring
as many staff members as I want?
Yes, we encourage you to bring as many staff members as you need to effectively
staff your Package A booth, thereby reaching as many conference participants
as possible. Two registrations are provided with the cost of the Package
A booth. You will be charged an additional fee of $225 for each staff member
over the two included with the booth. Please see the Vendor Pre-Registration
form in this package to register all attendees from your company. Please
do not use the online registration form as the special $225 conference rate
can not be obtained there.
- Can our staff members come for free if they're
just working the booth?
No, TxDLA encourages everyone to attend all general sessions, meals, special
events, and other group functions. For this reason, the Exhibit Hall is closed
during these times. Therefore, once you have identified your two staff members
who will receive complimentary registrations, all other staff members must
be charged the rate of $225 so they can enjoy the full benefits of the conference.
- What is the “Vendor Showcase”?
A limited number of 50-minute breakout sessions are available that can be
used for Vendor Showcases. These showcases are designed to provide a forum
for vendors to demonstrate their products in a breakout session. Vendors
are defined for this purpose as anyone from a for-profit organization with
goods and/or services for sale. Vendors must pay a $150 charge to present
if they purchase a booth in the Exhibit Hall during the conference and $300
if they do not purchase a booth during the conference.
- What do I need to
do to present in the Vendor Showcase?
To present, each speaker must submit a proposal form for approval. For more
information, contact David Wissore at 817-515-4460, or david.wissore@tccd.edu
