VENDOR INFORMATION

The MEGT Conference Committee is organizing the annual MEGT Conference to be held at Cragun’s Conference Center in Brainerd, Minnesota.  This year the dates are Sunday, January 26 - Tuesday, January 28, 2020.  There will be approximately 230 conference attendees.

MEGT is offering four ways your institution/company can advertise at the MEGT conference

1. Brochures on a table in the main conference room. There is a $25.00 fee for this service.  Brochures need to be personally delivered or mailed in advance to: Cragun’s Conference Center, 11000 Cragun’s Drive, Brainerd, MN  56401, Attention: MEGT/Randy Aldous. Any brochures that remain at the end of the conference will not be returned.

2. ½ page advertisement in our conference brochure at a cost of $100.  Please send your ad electronically to Kelly Jensen ([email protected]) and she will make sure it is included.  The size is approximately 7.25” x 4.50”. This is a horizontal display for either the upper or lower half of a conference booklet page. 

3. Vendor displays around the pool area.  The cost to display at this conference is $125.00 for 1 table, $200 for 2 tables, or $250 for 3 tables. Vendor displays will be set up around the pool area.  The main day for vendor displays will be Monday, January 27th. The vendor displays run 8:30am – 6:30pm.  Vendors who are registered for Monday may also choose to extend their time.  Monday vendors may add Sunday from 2-7pm and/or Tuesday 7-10:45am for an additional $50. 

4. Brochures on display at the back of the main conference room, plus ½ page add in the booklet, plus sponsorship of a social hour or snack break with your institution/company logo on display all for a cost of $200.

If you are choosing a vendor display, please complete the space/equipment request form and mail it to Melissa Damon with your vendor/display fee as soon as possible to be included in this year’s conference.

Checks are made payable to MEGT. If you have any questions, please email Melissa Damon at [email protected].  Vendors may contact Cragun’s directly for vendor room registration rates.

Thank you for sharing your resources with our conference participants.  We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
