Conference Vendors/Exhibitors
Vendors for this year's conference have not yet been identified. Vendor Exhibit Information
CCSC:SE
is pleased to invite both national and local vendors to exhibit
their technology/education-related products during the conference.
Textbooks,
software and hardware are among the types of products
that have been exhibited in
the past.
The
conference will provide a large exhibit
area in an ideal location,
immediately adjacent to the rooms in which the
conference presentations
will be given. Exhibits will be open Friday, January
22nd from
11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, January 23rd from 8:00 a.m.
to 12:00 noon. Vendor Benefits
This
conference should offer the following
advantages to exhibitors:
-
an
opportunity to interact on a personal level with a significant
number of persons
directly responsible for the purchase of your
products, representing a large
geographical area;
- an opportunity to make contact with individuals who do
not
attend national meetings regularly because of the limited travel
funds available to participants from the smaller institutions
that make up
the bulk of our institutional population;
- the
opportunity to demonstrate your products to an interested
audience;
-
the relatively low cost of exhibiting.
Attendee Demographics
Records
from recent meetings show that approximately 90-110 regional faculty
attend this conference. These participants are mostly from CCSC
Southeast region (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee,
Virginia,
Florida). Many of these participants have primary responsibilities
for
recommending and purchasing computer hardware and software
needed to implement
their various programs as well as responsibility
for teaching. Registrants have
frequently expressed both appreciation
for corporate representatives who attended,
and interest in seeing
more exhibits. Vendor Registration
The vendor registration fee is
$50. Exhibitors will be provided
with a six-foot table, two to four chairs, and
access to electricity
in the exhibitor area. If you have other needs, CCSC:SE will
attempt
to meet them if you contact the appropriate member of the conference committee.
This
fee also entitles all members of the exhibiting team to attend
as many
sessions as desired. It does not, however, include copies
of the conference
proceedings or tickets to the banquet on Friday
evening and luncheon on Saturday.
Tickets may be purchased individually
for the banquet ($25) or luncheon ($10), as
desired.
If
you are interested in participating in the
conference as an exhibitor,
please register with the status of "vendor" and pay the $50 fee at the conference registration site. National Partners
National
partners pay a single annual fee that entitles
them to exhibit
their products and services at any of the eight regional
conferences
of CCSC. Current national partners include:
