2016 Conference Information
Dear Sponsors and Vendors,
Thank-you for supporting the High Plains No-Till Conference this year! We are very
excited about the upcoming conference and glad you decided to be part of it.
As we get ready for the conference I want inform you of important information about the
event including booth space assignments along with information for vendor set-up and
the conference in general.
This year we will be hosting a small Holistic Management Workshop on Monday, Feb 1st
from 9 AM – 3 PM. At the conclusion of the workshop people may register for the
conference and walk through the vendor area.
Please submit names for nametags to becky@highplainsnotill.com. Extra registrations
can be purchased for $130 until Friday, after Friday they will be sold for $180.
Lunch will be served from 12:10 until 1:15 PM. There are no sessions during lunch this
year. We have ordered lunch for you and hope you will be able to eat with us. We will
open the lunch doors at 12:10 PM.
If you have door prizes we will be happy to announce the winners for you at 4:30 PM
Wednesday in the museum. CCTA will not be responsible for getting door prizes to
winners who are not present.
Sponsors may pick up their nametags and conference books Monday afternoon from 1:00
– 5:00 PM, or during registration Tuesday. All sponsors, vendors and attendees are
required to wear and display a 2016 CCTA nametag during the conference; registration
are not transferable to a new employee on Wednesday. Registration will start at 7:00 AM
Tuesday.
VENDORS:
Trade show will end at 4:00 PM on Wednesday because the last session will be in the
other building.
Vendor set up will be Monday 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM. If you cannot set up Monday please
call and make arrangements for Tuesday morning. If you are not in place by 5:00 PM
Monday, and have not made arrangements with the coordinator, your booth will be given
to one of the vendors on the waiting list and you will not receive a refund.
All outside equipment must be in place Monday because we will not get equipment in on
Tuesday morning due to traffic.
When hanging items on the drapes please do not use tape or any other hangers that will
leave a residue. Safety pins, straight pins or magnets are acceptable.
Nametags are required for all attendees, vendors and sponsors. If you have extra people
stop by to see you in your booth, please visit with them in the lobby or send them to the
registration table to purchase a nametag.
WE WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANOTHER NAMETAG HOLDER and registrations
are not transferable to another employee on Wednesday. It is the only way we can
keep track of everyone. We will print nametags for each booth prior to the conference.
We can change names but will need the original name tag to do so.
We will have a Beer N’ Bull session Tuesday evening, following the last breakout
session. We have scheduled an hour and a half for the Beer N’ Bull session at the
Burlington Community Center. This is a great time to visit and promote your product to
producers and registrants in a longer, uninterrupted timeframe.
Vendors will need to provide beverage(s) of their choosing for the producers and
registrants who choose to stay and participate in the Beer N Bull event. Beverages may
be alcoholic or non-alcoholic depending on you and your company’s preference. You
may choose not to provide any beverages at all. Vendors will serve beverages from the
booth space they purchased at the conference. Vendors will be responsible for keeping
beverages chilled as needed. CCTA will not provide refrigeration or kitchen facilities;
however, snacks will be provided. Bringing in lawn chairs or other seating for your booth
is encouraged we just ask that you do not block the walkway.
Beer N Bull will end at 6:30 PM and the building will need to be closed immediately
following the session. Please respect this schedule as this will help avoid prolonged
consumption by any of the participants. Vendors will need to clean up their booth
prior to leaving the building. Please do not leave coolers of beverages unattended.
For your convenience, all participants of the conference will be given a nametag by
CCTA. Nametag doesn’t mean over 21 years of age, you are responsible for making sure
your beverages connect with appropriate aged attendees.
For those of you who are staying in Burlington, it is unknown if the Route Steakhouse
will be open.
