INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS
The exhibition space is open only to science and technology people from 10:00 am 
to 1:00 pm to give them time for networking and to view each other's products. 
 
The doors will open to the general public at 1:00 pm.
 
      The 2004 Technology Exposition will be a historic gathering of business leaders and technology entrepreneurs from the Midlands.  Activities will include technology entrepreneurs showcasing South Carolina technology, seminars and presentations geared to entrepreneur and business-owner needs, and more. A noon meal will be provided, as well as an evening gathering at Jillian’s restaurant. 

      The Technology Exposition offers business leaders throughout the region an up-close look at the technology developed and sold by local entrepreneurs. The ultimate goal of this show is to encourage business owners to “buy South Carolina” for all their technology needs.  Members of local Chambers of Commerce, as well as Rotary, networking and other groups will be encouraged to attend this event.  By buying local technology, they will be creating a stronger economy for themselves.

Meet the decision makers
     For up-front face-to-face contact with business leaders throughout the midlands — the people who will be making policy and purchasing decisions for their companies, your company is cordially invited to exhibit at this exciting event.

$79.00 per table includes the following:
  • 6 or 8 foot table, with chair.

  • Noon lunch (up to 2 people).

Seminars & Presentations
     Rooms for seminars/presentations are available at no additional charge. Projection equipment is provided.

If any timeslots remain unreserved, your company may be able to give multiple presentations throughout the day.  Your Powerpoint presentation will be shown on several monitors throughout the day -- at no additional fee.

Saturday -- February 28, 2004

When you choose to participate in Columbia’s Technology Exposition, you are not just part of a simple trade show.  You are supported by two organizations who have made it their goal to support not only technology in the region, but technology developed and sold by area entrepreneurs.  That’s you!
Businesses today are interested in improving their bottom line — increasing revenues and decreasing costs.  They are looking at technology to do so.  Business owners also are interested in spending their dollars locally.  They want to reinvest in the community, because they realize that their future depends upon a strong local economy.
Their problem?  They don’t know where to go to locally buy their technology products and services.  That is where we come in!   Our thanks to CTEC and Midlands Technical College for bringing local entrepreneurs and business owners together!
The Columbia Technology Entrepreneur Council (CTEC) is a subset of the South Carolina Technology Alliance, which was created by the legislature in the mid 1990s to ensure the development of programs that will strengthen technology entrepreneurs and promote their needs and contributions.  Members and visitors meet the second Wednesday of each month at the Capital City Club for breakfast and a presentation tailored to their interests, as well as the last Tuesday of each month at Jillian’s Restaurant for wings, chips, relaxation and networking.
