Responding to increased demand, the second WaterSmart Innovations Conference and Exposition is offering an expanded expo hall for prospective exhibitors for this year’s conference, slated for Oct. 7-9, 2009, in Las Vegas at the South Point Hotel and Conference Center.
The more than 180 exhibit spaces at WSI this year mark a 12 percent increase in booths over last year’s successful inaugural conference and expo, when demand exceeded capacity. Information on securing an exhibit booth is available at www.WaterSmartInnovations.com.
Booth rates for WSI remain at the 2008 level of $1,845 per 10’ x 10’ booth ($100 more for a corner booth). In addition, each booth purchased includes one Full Conference badge that includes admission to the keynote luncheon and all professional sessions. Additional keynote luncheon tickets are available to exhibitors or $35 each.
This year, WSI will hold refreshment breaks in the expo hall, as well as a cocktail reception on the evening of Thursday, October 8. More information about these opportunities to reach WSI attendees, as well as an updated listing of exhibitors, is available on the Web site.
