Dear Exhibitor:
We are excited that your business is considering exhibiting at the Midwest Food Processors Association’s (MWFPA) 112 th Annual Convention/Trade Show. This prospectus has all the information you need to prepare for the more than 1,000 expected attendees.
Your registration as an exhibitor gives you access to more than the trade show. Your registration includes access to the Processing Crops Conference, the All Industry Reception, the Chairman’s Reception & Silent Auction, and all meals and refreshments. Together these events provide you a chance to interact and network with attendees, exhibitors, and industry leaders in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
This year’s show maximizes the amount of time attendees have on the exhibitor floor while still delivering high quality education sessions throughout the day. Exhibitors are encouraged to attend any of the educational sessions that interest them.
Your company is an integral component of the 2016 MWFPA Convention/Trade Show. Your participation is one of the reasons attendees leave with innovative ideas and solutions to improve their company’s productivity. In return, you may leave with new customers, fresh leads, and a newfound respect for what MWFPA’s Annual Convention/Trade Show can do for you.
We truly believe there is no better way to end the year than to join a gathering of food industry professionals at the MWFPA’s Annual Convention/Trade Show. We genuinely hope you will be part of its success every year!
