President's Message
I would like to personally invite you to join us as an exhibitor for the 2007 BICSI Spring Conference in Dallas, Texas. This is a great opportunity for you, in a new venue.

As an exhibitor, you will find that the information transport systems (ITS) individuals who are planning on attending this event come from the United States, Canada, as well as around the globe, yet many have at least two things in common. First of all, many attendees have projects they are planning or are in the process of working on now. This is a conference for hardworking and committed ITS professionals. Secondly, most attendees are expanding their business to meet industry demands for new and improved products. Many of our attendees are specialists in design and installation of ITS. However, they have learned that the cabling work is the hard part of any project. Now they are expanding their business by offering customers a full range of low-voltage solutions, ranging from voice and data to security, controls and other building management systems.

BICSI members and other attendees at this conference are getting larger and larger shares of work on each construction project. And they will be in Dallas looking for solutions from you. As usual, we focus the attendees’ participation in the Exhibit Hall by providing liberal food and beverage during all exhibit hours. We promise to bring qualified prospects to your display. The rest is up to you. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet with the ITS professionals who specify, design and install your products and use your services. I look forward to seeing everyone in Dallas.

Benefits of Exhibiting 
What separates this event from other exhibitor venues is the strength of the associated educational sessions. These sessions attract serious ITS professionals who have paid a significant fee to attend the conference and view the exhibition. As a result, you will meet highly motivated prospects who are intent on learning the latest developments, solutions and practices surrounding ITS.

Exceptional Traffic
There are no conference sessions or training scheduled during exhibit hours. To ensure a crowd at your booth, BICSI provides hors d’oeuvres and beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) during evening exhibit hours, lunch and beverages during midday exhibit hours and continental breakfast during morning exhibit hours. In addition, exhibits and conference sessions are all located under one roof at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center—ensuring higher attendance at the exhibition.

Company Exposure
BICSI expects over 1,500 attendees and visitors to view the exhibits. Each exhibitor also gains additional exposure through a listing and company description in the on-site BICSI Spring Conference Program and on the BICSI Web site (www.bicsi.org). A link to your company’s Web site will be included if you provide it in your description.

Conference Participation
Because exhibit time does not conflict with educational sessions, you have the opportunity to meet even more prospects during these sessions. You receive at least two registrations with full onference privileges with your exhibit space package.
