VIRTUAL ATTENDANCE OPTIONS FOR DISTRIBUTORS:
For those who can’t attend the show because they are at-risk, sick, experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, etc., we’re pleased to offer several options that will help our exhibitors get the maximum amount of exposure for their products and allow distributors the opportunity to learn about the newest products available. Distributors can sign up for any of these virtual options when registering for the show.
§ Virtual Experience – Distributors can choose to attend the show virtually from 9-11 am on Tuesday, October 6. We will be broadcasting live from Hugh’s Culinary and giving each exhibitor a chance to showcase their hottest products. During this live broadcast distributors will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with exhibitors through the chat feature. After the show, distributors will be able to access the recorded presentations from the Virtual Experience, download sale/promotional flyers, and contact exhibitors to set up an appointment.
§ Tradeshow in a Box (on-site pickup)– Distributors who aren’t comfortable attending the show in person can register to pickup a “Tradeshow in a Box.” The box will be filled with catalogs and samples from the show and can be picked up in front of Hugh’s Culinary from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm. You’ll pull up and we’ll safely load your box for you (wearing a mask and gloves).
§ Tradeshow in a Box (shipped to you) – For those who can’t make it to Hugh’s Culinary on October 6, we’re happy to ship you a box filled with catalogs and samples from the show. You’ll need to provide your shipping address, preferred shipping method, and shipping account number. Boxes will be shipped by Friday, October 9, 2020.
VIRTUAL ATTENDANCE OPTIONS FOR EXHIBITORS
There are exhibitors who can't attend our show but would still like to make sure their products are in front of our audience. This is for you!
For the cost of a table, virtual exhibitors can take advantage of the following without leaving home:
- Exhibitors can ship us their catalogs, flyers, samples and we’ll put them out.
- If they would like to send enough samples and flyers for the Tradeshow in a Box program, we’ll include them in that.
- They can also send a minimal display (table cover, retractable banner) that we’ll put out and ship back to them (they provide shipper number).
- They can present for 5 minutes during the Virtual Experience. Their presentation can be live or recorded and it will be archived online like all of the others. (see above for more information on the Virtual Experience).
