I went to SEA 2007 in Cancun not knowing what to expect. A member of the organizing team contacted me in early March to see if I was interested in par-ticipating. I contributed some imprinted promotional items. I did the same in 2008—you guys remember the sun care kits!! I have acquired so many clients from being visible at a very instrumental conference. This conference is not only “the most fun” but great for making contacts. – Lenora White, Whitehouse Promotions & Photography
