NEW THIS YEAR! THE VENDOR GONG SHOW
The Vendor Throwdown: Pitch It or Get Gonged
Forget the traditional vendor presentation! The Vendor Gong Show gives exhibitors a limited amount of time to showcase their product or service to public works professionals in a way that is fun, fast, energetic and creative. Whether it’s a clever demonstration, an unforgettable pitch or a unique way to show how their solution can make the job easier, vendors will have to grab the audience’s attention — and keep it!
But beware: if the presentation falls flat, the gong comes out! At the end of the competition, one vendor will be crowned Best in Show for delivering the most engaging, creative and memorable presentation.
