*We will be playing a NEW game for early risers – each vendor will be provided a card with a colored dot. We ask that you keep this card face down and only share with our registrants when they come to your booth. Each registrant will be given a colored dot to match to one of our MASA exhibitors and will win once they find their matching exhibitor and taking a picture, bringing to the MASA registration desk for prize. We have a host of technology give away prizes for the first 10 people to “match” their colored dot and number with an exhibitor. They will ask you to take a picture with them showing their winning card. It will be another opportunity for our exhibitors to speak with our registrants.
We do ask at 8:00 AM when our keynote starts that all conversation at your exhibit booth stop. There will be NO packing or moving out during the keynote as we are all in the same space and the noise will be a distraction to attendees.

We will ask that at the end of our breakfast keynote, any exhibitor that had a drawing at their booth to come to the front of the stage and line up. We will allow you to come on stage, introduce yourself/company and draw your winner. We do ask that it is limited to name/company and a quick thank you and drawing as our timeline is tight. This will be another exposure to our registrants!
