TEC EXPO 2016 - SPONSOR INVITATION
Dear IBM i Community Supporter:
On behalf of TUG (the Toronto Users Group for Power Systems) we’re pleased to announce details of our TEC EXPO 2016, which is scheduled as part of our conference taking place on May 25-26 at the Monte Carlo Inn & Suites Downtown Markham, 7255 Warden Avenue (Warden Ave. @ Denison St.) — and to invite your company to participate as a sponsor!
For over 20 years, the Toronto Users Group for Power Systems has hosted “TEC EXPO” (a vendor showcase) during the first day of its annual two-day conference. This has been a tremendous success; averaging over 200 visitors, including over 100 registered conference attendees, representing numerous companies in manufacturing, distribution, retail, financial, education, and government sectors.
The following is a profile of companies in our client database:
- 211 Manufacturing; 55 Wholesale; 20 Retailers
- 58 Financial Institutions and 19 Insurance Companies
- 31 Transportation Firms
- 20 Healthcare Providers, 20 Services Companies
- 16 Government agencies and 12 Utilities
TEC is the Toronto Users Group’s annual Technical Education Conference. This year we will be conducting the event at the Monte Carlo Inn & Suites Downtown Markham, with a new and exciting agenda! We have a very intense lineup of main themes including, but not limited to:
- IBM i & RPG Application Development
- Web and Mobile Development on IBM i
- Modernizing your IBM i Applications
- Accessing and Optimizing IBM i data
- IBM i System Management
 This year we have invited just the "cream of the crop" — some of the industry’s top speakers,
including: Jon Paris, Susan Gantner, Aaron Bartell, Robert Bestgen, Barbara Morris,
Edmund Reinhardt and Eric Simpson!*
* Speaker names subject to change.
This conference will provide many opportunities to greet end-user delegates and introduce yourself and your company to them. Areas will be available for you to setup and display your company’s products and services. The Expo will be open throughout the day to allow conference attendees and other potential customers the opportunity to meet with you and hear about your products.
Similar to last year, sponsors will be able to choose their own display location (on a first-come first-served basis.) Register early to ensure that you get your preferred spot in the main lobby, right next to the session rooms!
