Vendor Opportunities

Conference Opportunity

All vendor booth reservations must be made in advance. Our venue, growing vendor attendance, as well as potential gathering size limits / impacts allowable conference attendees.  We're requesting that you carefully choose the sponsorship level to accommodate the number of expected attendees.  Additionally, there is a set amount of sponsorships allowed at each level (see above); there will not be an ability to upgrade your sponsorship after registration.  There also is no provision for additional vendor attendees, nor multiple vendor attendees sharing a single attendance spot (no attendee rotation).  If you must send more attendees, consider choosing a higher sponsorship level, reserving another table, or reducing your attendee count.

Take note of the registration type's attendee limit.  Be sure to choose a Vendor Registrant Type (sponsorship level).  Your first attendee is recorded along with the sponsorship.  When registering, we suggest that you only record the initial attendee, in order to complete your registration quickly.  Mi-GMIS will send out a subsequent email requesting additional attendee information as well as a high-resolution logo for Platinum, Gold, and Silver sponsors.

If you choose to pay by check, mail to:

Set Up and Tear Down

Setup: Sunday from Noon until 4 p.m.  Booth spaces are first come, first served.  Be sure to arrive early to choose your ideal spot. 

Tear Down: Booths are to be dismantled by Tuesday evening.  However, we encourage vendors to stay for the remainder of the conference, attending the Tuesday evening Vendor Drawings and remaining networking events and meals.

Speaking Opportunities

Our Conference Program Committee works hard to create an engaging and educational event. Platinum sponsors are allotted a 1/2 hour time slot and can speak on a vendor-specific / product-specific topic (if they choose). We advise that your attendee speaker endeavors to make their presentation as captivating as possible. 

Each Gold sponsor may assign one of their attendees to participate on a panel session (topics pre-determined by the Session Committee).

Sunday Welcome Reception

An informal reception is held Sunday evening. You are encouraged to attend. The event provides an excellent opportunity for you to get acquainted with our membership.  The reception features an assortment of finger food and beverages.  If you expect to have  late arrival, please ensure the vendor coordinator is aware.

Monday President's Address and Vendor Introductions

Our President announces vendor sponsorships at our opening session.  In addition, 1 representative from each exhibition table is encouraged to say a few words about their company.

Tuesday Night Networking Event

Mi-GMIS sponsors a social event on Tuesday evening.  It usually consists of dinner and a networking opportunities.  Vendors are encouraged to attend this event.

Tuesday Night Vendor Drawings

Some of our vendors choose to provide a drawing item. You may decide to station a "fish bowl" throughout the conference to collect potential recipient's business cards.

Meals / Events Included (Name Badge Required)

All conference meals and events are included with your sponsorship. We strongly support vendor participation in the conference.

Puzzle Promotion

The first vendors to register and remit payment are entitled to puzzle pieces to distribute to government attendees. A completed puzzle makes government attendees eligible for the conference door prize.  We've found it to be an excellent way to encourage our attendees to visit our vendors.  To ensure your participation, reserve and remit payment early.
