President's Message
I would like to personally invite you to join us as an exhibitor for the 2007 BICSI Winter Conference in Orlando. This is a great opportunity for you.

As an exhibitor, you will find that the information transport systems (ITS) professionals who attend this event come from many parts of the country, yet many have at least two things in common. First of all, most attendees have a project they are planning or working on now. This is not a conference for tire-kickers. Secondly, most attendees are expanding their business. Our attendees may be 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 Orlando looking for solutions from you.

As usual, we keep attendees in the exhibit hall by providing 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 you in Orlando.

Attendee Profile
A recent survey shows that BICSI conference attendees design and install ITS infrastructure for multiple building systems (system, percent of BICSI members):

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 and continental breakfast during morning exhibit hours. In addition, exhibits and conference sessions are all located under one roof at the Gaylord Palms resort & Convention Center—ensuring higher attendance at the exhibition.

Company Exposure
BICSI expects over 5,000 attendees and visitors to view the exhibits. Each exhibitor also gains additional exposure through a listing and company description in the on-site BICSI Winter 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 hours do not conflict with the educational sessions, you have the opportunity to meet even more prospects during these sessions. You receive one or more registrations with your exhibit space package.

Complimentary Exhibit Hall Passes
You also receive exhibit hall passes to give to customers and prospects who might only want to attend the exhibits.
