The 2011 exhibit floor isn’t your ordinary exhibit floor—it's an EXPERIENCE. Yes, we’ll still have the great lineup of vendors you’re used to seeing with outstanding product displays covering nearly 90,000 square feet, fabulous prize drawings, lunch on the floor, and exhibitor showcase presentations every hour.
We’ve added so much more to the experience, you might have a hard time leaving! When you’re not in an education session, you’ll want to check out all of the action at the EXPO EXPERIENCE. We’ll be bringing you live interviews with session speakers throughout the week, you’ll have multiple opportunities to connect with your colleagues, we’ll have more prize drawings than ever, you can discover the newest “Apps in Public Works” and, as always, you can keep up with your friends and colleagues at the cyber stations.
If that isn't enough to get you on the exhibit floor to enjoy the EXPO EXPERIENCE, then how about this—
- New this year, you can earn CEUs for attending exhibitor showcase presentations!
- And that’s not all! Back by popular demand we’ll again have Happy Hour on the floor. But not just on Sunday afternoon anymore, it’s EVERY DAY! Our exhibitors will be sponsoring beer on the floor all week long so you can enjoy a cold one while kicking a few tires.
- Sunday afternoon we’ll broadcast the NFL games live throughout the exhibit floor so you don’t have to miss your favorite team.
- While you’re enjoying that ice cold beverage, take a shot at the new mini remote-control course, where you’ll be challenged to operate a backhoe, a front-end loader, or perhaps move some dirt—all by remote control. The equipment may be small, but it won’t be easy! Now you can show colleagues your superior remote control skills.
The 2011 EXPO EXPERIENCE will be a place to LEARN, DISCOVER, and HAVE FUN! So put it in your plans now—we know you’ll want to spend a few more hours at the EXPO EXPERIENCE.
There's An App For That!
Come discover smartphone apps for public works! Most everyone is carrying a smartphone these days—we’ll show you how to put it to use in your work life by giving you additional tools to make you more productive in your job. (Schedule subject to change. Please check The Expo Experience for the most current schedule.)
