PRIVATE EXHIBITOR EVENTS
There are many opportunities during DMA2010 to “mix and meet” with conference attendees – on the show floor, in conference sessions, over lunch and impromptu meetings. Many exhibitors also host private events, whether these are small meetings with customers or receptions/dinners. We know exhibitors want to maximize their time with attendees; however it is in the interest of all exhibitors that conference attendees not be asked to choose between spending their time at the convention center or at an offsite meeting or event.
With this in mind, DMA does have a policy regarding space release requests at hotels within the DMA block. DMA will not authorize events that conflict and/or compete with the official conference program and will not release space at the official conference hotels for that purpose.
| Official conference hours are: |
|
| Sunday, Oct. 10 |
3:00pm -- 5:30pm |
| Monday, Oct. 11 |
8:30am -- 5:00pm |
| Tuesday, Oct. 12 |
8:45am -- 5:00pm |
| Wednesday, Oct. 13 |
8:45am -- 12:15pm |
DMA makes available Exhibitor Meeting Rooms on the show floor for exhibitors to meet with customers on show days. The request form is available on the Exhibitor Resources page of the DMA2010 web site and will also be included in the online service kit. These rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
