MATERIALS & SUPPLIES SHOWCASE

Join us in San Antonio, Texas for our most ambitious conference yet! This year we expect at least 200 attendees from at least 6 countries to join us for a greatly expanded educational opportunity.

The excitement for our upcoming annual conference is already reverberating across the United States and beyond. We have rapidly outgrown our initial conference space and are delighted to announce that we will now be overtaking the entire hotel conference center for this pivotal and informative event.

Each conference is a successful force in its own right but by joining forces for our annual conference this year, we will bring together at least twice the number of attendees and exponentially expand the forum we are able to provide. There are many new opportunities to expand your network in the architectural glass art community during the upcoming conference.

June 3-5, 2019 | San Antonio, Texas The SGAA Showcase has proven to be effective and beneficial for both vendors and our attendees. The Showcase is set up along the perimeter of the General Session Rounds so that you and your product are never out of sight.

· New marketing for 2019—Lanyards & Drink Tickets and TWICE the participants under one roof!

· Face to face with your clients for two full days (or more!) Consistent feedback from our attendees—your clients—says they love being able to form relationships and get face-to-face answers about your products. Your display will be in the SGAA Lecture Ballroom providing you with two days of great opportunities to meet with our attendees. It is the perfect opportunity for you to introduce new products, support current product lines and discover client needs.

· Donation with lots of benefits instead of an expensive booth. No showroom fee, no square footage fee! Instead a wide variety of donation packages to choose from that best meet your budget.

· FREE Display table instead of expensive furniture rentals. For your donation, you will receive a free 3’ x 8’ draped display table and two chairs.

· Can’t send a sales person? Donate a minimum of $750 or more, send us your table top display and marketing materials. We will be happy to make sure your table stays neat and well stocked.

Choose one corresponding event per sponsor level and your company name will be attached to all

publicity for that event. Events can be made exclusive to the donating company or two or more

companies may support a larger event with all company names credited to the event.
