Day of Event
For the orientation, we will all be together in the main room. Both media and exhibitors. We’ll go over the basics and answer questions.
After that, media and exhibitors will be paired up into break out rooms for 5-minute one-on-one conversations.
You’ll get a 30-second countdown, then everyone will automatically be back in the main room.
We will then move the exhibitors to the next break out room to speak with a new media person.
This process will continue until each of the exhibitors has met every media attendee.
There will be a lunch break, then Round 2 will be the same process as Round 1 with new media attendees.

Guidelines for the media sample box
Each media panelist will be shipped a nicely packaged sample box filled with all the great samples and press information you’ve sent us.
The box will arrive at their office 1-2 days BEFORE the event. The media will have the product sample during your pitch!
Please note, we cannot provide home shipping addresses for the media attendees, however, you can ask them individually during the event or by email after the event should they want a sample sent to them.
Quantity Needed
Please send 35 samples of one product and any additional press information (USB or paper) you would like to have sent out prior to the event. If you are pitching two products, you can send your second product directly to the media after the event.
Packaging
Boxes and packaging
Please do not pack your samples in a separate box. We combine one of each sample into one large Media Sample Box.
Multiple pieces
If you are sending multiple items (i.e., a USB flash drive, a product sample, a promotional item, etc.) please group them in soft bag, envelope or tied together. A bunch of loose thumb drives at the bottom of the box can easily get lost. And single sheets of paper get crumpled during shipping.
We all want this box to look beautiful and enticing when they open it!
