Your AOC Announcement.

Deadline: Early Bird Date (March 31, 2009)

Your AOC announcement is the best way for the AOC marketing staff to promote your company. Each Gold Sponsor's announcement will be included on the Exhibitors listing page of the AOC website and Exhibitor section of the Conference Handbook. Please limit your announcement to what delegates should know, to encourage them to meet with you at your sessions or in the tradeshow. Do not submit generic sales material.

  • The announcements will be entered on the AOC website in order of submission.
  • We can accept your announcement in .html format, with all associated graphics, or in simple text format.
  • You may want to include a link to an AOC page on your own website. If you need help to create your AOC web page, contact Annemarie Nordman at anordman@rainmaker-online.com.
  • Please submit your colour logo (.jpg or .gif), to be used as the button for the link from the AOC website to your website, to Carolyn Wendell at carolyn.wendell@softrak.com. The preferred size for logos is a maximum of 150 pixels wide by 50 pixels high. Exhibitors at prior AOCs need only resubmit their logo if it has changed.

Conference Handbook / Session Details.

Deadline: Early Bird Date (March 31, 2009)

The AOC Conference Handbook will be published on the AOC website in advance of the conference, and will also be given out in hard copy at delegate registration. We will survey the delegates a month before the conference to ensure conflicts are minimized. If you do not submit your session details in time, there will be no way for the delegates to indicate their preference for your sessions.

You must email to carolyn.wendell@softrak.com the following:

For each of your sessions:
  • Your Exhibitor Firm Name
  • Your Session Type (e.g. Overview, Technical, Business, Marketing, Sales; or you can suggest another type)
  • Level (Intro, Advanced)
  • Title (around 5 words)
  • Summary (max 75 words)
  • If the session is a repeat, please indicate such.

If you have a timing conflict with your session assignment, please email carolyn.wendell@softrak.com ASAP, and we will do our best to accommodate your changes. Please note that sessions are usually assigned in the order in which exhibitors register.

NOTE: We will use your AOC announcement from the AOC Exhibitors page in the Exhibitor Directory section of the Conference Handbook.



Exhibit Hall

Exhibit Space

Exhibit locations are assigned in order of registration.

Each Gold Sponsor will have a draped 6ft x 2ft table in a carpeted area. Bring your free-standing 3ft x 7ft vertical banner. We will not have room for full sized booths.

Internet and Power

Each exhibitor will have one power outlet. Internet is not provided. If you require internet or extra power, please contact:
Craig Johnston, Convention Services Manager
604-639-4847, craig.johnston@hyatt.com
Hyatt Regency Vancouver

Setup

Setup is 10:00 - 1:00 Sunday, and tear down is 6:30 - 7:00 Sunday evening. The Exhibit Hall will be Sunday from 4:30 - 6:30.

Shipping

Advance shipments should be directed to:
Attention: Banquets
The Adagio Opportunity Conference
The Hyatt Regency Vancouver
655 Burrard Street
Vancouver, BC
V6C 2R7
Canada
604-683-1234
If shipping from outside Canada, remember to leave enough time for your equipment to clear customs. In our experience, Federal Express is more expedient at clearing show equipment through Canada Customs than UPS.

Drink Tickets

ADPs can purchase drink tickets for the Exhibit Hall in advance, for half price, at $45 Cdn for a pack of 10. That way you can be extra-generous with free drinks for delegates! See the Registration Desk on Sunday to purchase your drink tickets for the Exhibit Hall.

There will also be a staff member selling tickets in the Exhibit Hall.


Sales Literature & Session Handouts

You're welcome to bring your sales literature, but your page in the Adagio catalog may be enough. You can also bring session handouts for the literature table at the registration area for those who could not attend your sessions.



Have a Fantastic Conference!

Thank you for your support of the Adagio community. We hope your time at the AOC is fun and rewarding.
