Conference Rules

  • You will be notified of your table number ahead of arrival. You will know you have landed in the right spot because there will be a sign with your company logo and table number on it. You are able to display your donated prize at your table from set-up through take down between 3:00pm - 4:00pm. Upon arrival, please check in at the registration desk to pick up your name badges and meaningful conversation cards, as well as tell the staff what prize you brought for the drawing. 
  • Meaningful Conversation Cards: Throughout the day you will interact with attendees. If during an interaction you feel you had a “meaningful conversation” you will give the attendee a card. Attendees will drop their Meaningful Conversation Cards into the drawing receptacle for an additional chance at prizes. During the Happy Hour at the end of the day, we will draw from the collected cards and announce the winners of the donated prizes. Please do not conduct prize drawings in your booth.  You are free to collect member business cards for your marketing & sales follow up.  ALAMN and Jaffe Management want to draw the names at one time to be sure members only win one prize, to be fair for all attendees.  If you have any questions about the prize procedure, please reach out to Catherine Gorr or Kelly Thaemert.
  • Each registered Business Partner Sponsor will have one 6 ft x 2.4 ft rectangular table to set up on. Each table will have a tablecloth provided. Please note that you will only have access to one electrical plug-in source.
