2012 Annual Conference Vendor Showcase

VRMA Annual Conference

October 21 - 24, 2012
Phoenix, Arizona





Vendor Showcase
Note: The 2012 Annual Conference Vendor Showcase is sold out.

Booth Information
Upon receipt of registration, the primary contact from the supplier company will be sent a Showcase Information form to provide additional information about the company, participation, and booth preferences. VRMA will make every attempt to accommodate vendors' booth preferences within reason. Initial booth assignments were made for vendors registered by September 14, with priority given first to corporate sponsors (Gold, Silver, Bronze), then to conference sponsors, and then according to registration date. Vendors registering after September 14 will be assigned booths on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Annual Conference Showcase will have 10x10 exhibit booths. Each booth will consist of:
  • 8’ high backwall and 3’ high side drape in royal blue
  • One (1) 7” x 44” one-line ID sign
  • One (1) 6’ x 30” draped table
  • Two (2) chairs
  • One (1) wastebasket
The Showcase diagram and booth assignments are subject to change based on the final number of booths needed. To help determine your booth preferences, please view:
  • The Arizona Biltmore floor plan (all Conference Programming will take place in the Frank Lloyd Wright Ballroom, with the Showcase being in the McArthur Ballroom)
  • The Showcase diagram
Vendor Information & Promotion
To help vacation rental managers learn about the exhibiting companies and prioritize which booths they want to visit, descriptions of all exhibiting companies will be printed in the Showcase Guide. This information will be collected from each exhibitor on the Showcase information form, which will be sent to the primary contact upon Showcase registration. Company descriptions will also be posted online, along with links to exhibitor websites, for attendees to review in advance. Find out how you can have your company's logo posted on this page along with your description.

Showcase Prizes
Individual Booth Prizes: All exhibitors are encouraged to provide a prize worth a minimum value of $25 to encourage attendees to visit the showcase and, specifically, your company. Vendors are responsible for collecting participant information, selecting prize winners (however they choose), and distributing prizes. VRMA will collect winners’ names and assist vendors with winner notification. If you include your booth prize on your Showcase Information form, VRMA will promote it to seminar attendees through the Showcase Guide, signage, and advance promotion.

Game Card Prizes: In addition to the individual prizes given by vendors, VRMA will also provide a "grand prize” to encourage attendees to visit all the vendors. Vacation rental managers will be given game cards to be stamped as they play through the Showcase; those who visit every booth will be entered in a prize drawing.

Supplier Schedule
The following times are specific to the Vendor Showcase. Please reference the overall Conference schedule for information on all Conference programs and events.
