Seminar Sponsorships

Sponsoring a seminar at ProMat 2013 is a great way to enhance an attendee’s show experience. These popular 45-minute sessions feature education on industry technology, principles, application guidelines, best practices, real-life case studies and more.

These seminars are not sales pitches. They are educational presentations designed to follow considerations and guidelines important to the successful planning, selection, design, integration, installation and/or operation of material handling equipment, systems and related controls and processes. These seminars provide ProMat 2013 attendees with a unique learning experience in a non-commercial way.

ProMat 2013 seminars are unique as they are conducted in specially designed theaters right on the show floor. Each theater seats 100 attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. The presentations are shown in PowerPoint and are 45 minutes in length – highly focused; right to the point. And best of all, each seminar is FREE to registered Show attendees!

ProMat 2013 Exhibitors may sponsor up to two seminars at a cost of $2,500 each. The number of seminars your company sponsors will determine your sponsorship level: 1 Seminar = Silver Sponsor Level; 2 Seminars = Gold Sponsorship Level. These sponsorship levels include special promotional items with your paid seminar sponsorship fee:

1 Seminar — $2,500
Silver Sponsor Level
2 Seminars — $5,000
Gold Sponsor Level
