Texas Motor Speedway November 13, 2015 Sponsor Registration Packet
Dear Valued Exhibitors and Sponsors; We invite you to be a part of the 5th Annual RMFMA Texas Equipment and Technology Show hosted by the Texas Chapter of the Rocky Mountain Fleet Management Association, on November 13, 2015. This year s expo is full of sensational changes! The technician competition, tire rodeo, and meals remain in the program, as in years past. In addition, race car and pace car rides are still available for purchase. Attendee incentives and events will continue throughout the day to keep folks engaged with exhibitors. We have added new demonstration opportunities that will allow unique ways to spotlight your goods and services offered to our fleet leaders. We understand exhibitors are mindful of costs, and the RMFMA Texas Equipment and Technology Show is a value at a great venue. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of Texas Motor Speedway, attendees are able to engage and learn about industry equipment, vehicles, supplies and services offered by vendors. Although over 400 attended this event in 2014, we hope program revisions will enhance exhibitor visibility. We have made the following changes to this year s show: Scheduled equipment product demonstrations (complete with bleacher seating). Rate revisions: The lowest tier booth cost has been reduced by $50, among other changes (p.4). New golf event: After booth set-up, meet with fleet professionals during a halfround of golf. New and improved networking event sponsored by the RMFMA Texas Chapter which includes food, a live band and cash bar. You can meet one-on-one with fleet managers in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. These revisions will bring more value to you, your existing customers, and with new prospective customers. Spots are filling up fast, so don t hesitate to register soon! Thank you, Wade Looney, Event Chair Texas Equipment and Technology Show 5 th Annual Texas Equipment & Technology Show Sponsor Registration Packet 2
