2020 AND BEYOND: BIG CHANGES ARE ON THE HORIZON!

41STANNUALENERGYGENERATIONCONFERENCE

EXHIBITOR BROCHURE

EGC CHAIRPERSON’S WELCOMEOn behalf of the Energy Generation Conference planning committee, we invite you to be an exhibitor during the 41st Energy Generation Conference. Celebrating 40 years and beyond, the Energy Generation Conference strives to energize industry and individuals in a competitive market through education, technology, and networking. This year’s event theme is “2020 and Beyond: Big Changes are on the Horizon!” The conference is scheduled for January 28-30, 2020 at the Bismarck Event Center.

Each year, energy industry professionals look forward to attending this professional development opportunity, with over 2,400 participants attending in 2019. We encourage you to utilize this great opportunity to develop and strengthen connections, showcase products and services, present advances and/or changes in technology, and reveal efficiency and reliability features your products provide to potential customers in the energy industry.

Online exhibitor registration opens Wednesday, October 9 and goes through Friday, December 20 (or sell out, if earlier). There are over 320 exhibit spots in the hall, and this year, we’ve reserved 90 of them as “premier” booths. We’ve had requests for many years from our vendors, asking for a way to ensure they will have great placement. By purchasing a standard booth and adding a

“premier upgrade package”, your company will secure a booth in aisles 600-900, which have long been considered the best spots in the hall!

Three levels of sponsorships are also available to help your company gain additional exposure with conference participants. This includes a $200 option that gets your company name/logo on a punch card that participants can complete to qualify for a daily grand prize.

Last but not least, don't forget to check out our conference app, Guidebook, which you can download. As details are confirmed, we will continue to update the platform. It's a great way to start reviewing conference sessions before the participant registration brochure is even out.

We are looking forward to another great conference and hope you can join us!

NEW EXHIBITORS• You will need to create a user profile before you can

register for a booth. Bismarck State College is part of the North Dakota University System, so many of the terms used on the registration site refer to “student.” This term refers to anyone registering for the Energy Generation Conference.
