Home  Conference & Exhibition
YPA is excited to
offer a new format that will allow companies the opportunity to meet and
discuss strategic issues with key partners. Instead of our traditional Exhibition Hall, we are now
offering Strategic Exchange Session (SES) locations. With an
assigned SES location, companies can make appointments with industry
executives and set the stage for profitable business initiatives.
Best of all, SES meeting spaces are priced at a significant discount
compared with the expenses associated with a tradeshow booth, such as
booth rental, electrical, internet, shipping etc. Various venues at Paris! will be used to
support these important gatherings. Special policies regarding reservations and use are described
below. Availability
is limited. Companies securing SES Meeting locations before December 31,
2009 will receive one additional full Conference
Registration. Tables, Cabanas, Villas and
SuitesSES appointments will
be held at private tables, poolside villas or executive
suites. We recommend SES appointments
be scheduled in 30 minute increments. Because availability is
limited, past YPA Exhibitors will be contacted and given of the first
opportunity to reserve SES space. Once all prior YPA Exhibitors have been contacted spaces will
open up to all companies. To the extent possible, appointments should be scheduled before
the conference. YPA will encourage
members attending the conference to participate in SES
Sessions. YPA will also facilitate
scheduling SES appointments
through: Providing contact information for attendees on a periodic
basis so that you can call to make
appointments Posting your SES contact information on the YPA Web site
so that attendees can contact you for an
appointment Listing your SES contact information in the Conference
Program so that attendees can contact you at the show for an
appointment Assisting you with securing appointments with two or
three of your most sought after companies
Each SES assigned space comes with either
one, two or three Conference registrations (depending on the type of
assigned space.) Conference registrations are a $1,850 value each and
