EXHIBITOR INFORMATIONWe are looking forward to a great conference November 3-6, 2019 at the Bloomington-Normal Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. One of the greatest benefits to all of our members are the corporate exhibits. The exhibits provide a great opportunity for one-on-one conversations about product and service offerings. Exhibit space is available to all GMIS Illinois Corporate Members in good standing. You must be registered for GIANTS by October 1st to guarantee exhibit space assignment. If you have any questions regarding exhibiting, please contact Emily Bell, GMIS Illinois Event Planner. |
SPECIAL EVENTSCorporate members are strongly encouraged to participate fully at GIANTS including all of the sessions and events through Wednesday. There are also some extra special opportunities to promote your organization. Corporate Interviews - right after the President's welcome on Monday morning we will be doing live video interviews of all the corporate members at their exhibit space. This is your chance to give a one-minute "commercial" about your organization and your offerings so that attendees know who you are, what you do and where to find you. Corporate Dinners - Monday night is scheduled to be "dinner on your own", however, corporate members have the option to schedule dinner outings for attendees. This is completely optional and is coordinated directly by the corporate members. Casino Night Celebration - After dinner on Monday night our entertainment function is casino night back at the hotel with snacks and drinks provided. Attendees will be able to gamble "GMISbucks" for chances to win raffle tickets. Attendees will be able to choose which prizes they would like to win by putting earned raffle tickets in for that prize. Corporate members who wish to provide raffle prizes will be able to add them to the prize pool and receive a little extra promotion. (Corporate members are reminded to follow the Illinois State Officials and Employees Ethics Act when picking raffle items). |
