The following marketing and technology organizations qualify to exhibit in the Marketing and Technology Pavilion:

- Advertising; Public relations; Research servicing companies
- Marketing systems (SEO/SEM, email campaigns, social media, web design)
- Distribution channel management

Once you have returned the signed Letter of Agreement, the IPW registration team will process your registration and send you an invoice, along with a "Proof Sheet" summarizing your registration and organization profile details. In addition, we will reconfirm all fulfillment deadlines for your turnkey booth and other sponsor benefits.
Special Notes for Chairman's/Board Circle Member Organizations
1
The complimentary IPW credential afforded to the official board representative is nontransferable.
This credential does not count toward the maximum three permitted per booth space.

For those companies that qualify as a domestic buyer:
Board and Chairman's Circle Level member benefits may only be applied to one registration (MTP booth or domestic buyer registration). It cannot be applied to both. If you decide to apply your member benefits of three (3) complimentary delegates to your domestic buyer registration, you will receive the MTP booth at the member rate (not the discounted Chairman’s or Board Circle member rate).
