All vendor booth reservations must be made in advance. Our venue, growing vendor attendance, as well as potential gathering size limits impacts allowable conference attendees.  We're requesting that you choose the sponsorship level to accommodate the number of expected attendees.  There is no provision for additional vendor attendees, nor multiple vendor attendees sharing a single attendance spot (no attendee rotation).  If you must send more attendees, consider choosing a higher sponsorship level, reserving another table, or reducing your attendee count.

Take note of the registration type's attendee limit.  Be sure to choose a Vendor Registrant Type (sponsorship level) first: the first attendee is recorded along with the sponsorship level.  You'll choose "Add Guest" for the remaining attendees.  Remember there is a hard limit of included attendees for your chosen sponsorship level.

Checks should be mailed to:

Our Conference Program Committee works hard to create an engaging and educational event. Platinum sponsors are allotted a 1/2 hour time slot and can speak on a vendor-specific / product-specific topic (if they choose). Gold sponsors my apply for an opportunity to present a vendor-agnostic topic chosen from the Program Committee's pre-defined topic list. Session applications and presentations are reviewed, approved, coordinated, and scheduled through the Conference Program Committee.

You may setup Sunday from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m.  Booth spaces are first come, first served.  Be sure to arrive early to choose your ideal spot.  You may leave your display up through Wednesday morning.

An informal reception is held Sunday evening. You are encouraged to attend. The event provides an excellent opportunity for you to get acquainted with our membership.  The reception features an assortment of finger food and beverages.

Our President announces vendor sponsorships at our opening session.  In addition, a representative form each exhibition table is encouraged to say a few words about their company.

On Monday evening (5-7 p.m.) government attendees are encouraged to spend time visiting vendors in the exhibition area.  One Platinum, Gold, or Silver Sponsor may sponsor the snacks and beverages.  That vendor will be recognized in conference materials, the website and event signage.

Mi-GMIS sponsors a social event on Tuesday evening.  It usually consists of dinner and a networking opportunities.  Vendors are encouraged to attend this event.

Some of our vendors choose to provide a drawing item. You may decide to station a "fish bowl" throughout the conference to collect potential recipient's business cards.

All conference meals and events are included with your sponsorship. We strongly support vendor participation in the conference.

The first vendors to register and remit payment are entitled to puzzle pieces to distribute to government attendees. A completed puzzle makes government attendees eligible for the conference door prize.  We've found it to be a great way to encourage our attendees to visit our vendors.  To ensure your participation, reserve and remit payment early.
