LEAD MANAGEMENT
As prospects visit your booth, use the conference app to scan the QR code on the back of their badge to collect contact information.  The conference app will be available 1 week before the conference.  

Lead management profile questions (ex. When do you plan to purchase? Or, What industry are you in?) can be created by your organization (optional).  Once the QR code is scanned, a list of custom questions will appear.  You will record the answers directly in the conference app.  A report of all leads can be downloaded through the Exhibitor Portal. Please use your custom Exhibitor Portal token link, click on Lead Management, then add the questions where indicated.  If you cannot find your token link, email info@metabolomicssociety.org and one will be sent to you again.

BENEFITS
Access to delegates through the Society’s email service
Email blasts will be sent on your behalf from the Society’s email service.  Your Corporate Membership entitles you to (3) email blasts to be sent to the membership database.  Only one email can be sent in a 30-day period.  To schedule email blasts, submit a header as a .jpeg file and your text in a separate word document to info@metabolomicssociety.org.  E-blast text should be submitted 4 weeks prior to your desired send date, as there are limited openings available each month.  E-blasts must be used between January - April or August - December, 2023.

5-8-minute Vendor Presentation
The designated Vendor Session will take place on Tuesday, June 20 from 3:30 – 5:15 p.m.  This is a time for our 5
Platinum and 5 Gold sponsors to provide an overview of the novel instrumentations, tools and services available to the metabolomics community.  This is a fast and efficient way for all attendees to get an overview of the latest technology developments in the market.

The presentation should be scientific, where you can highlight novel development of instrumentation (software), tools or services to make the audience aware of your novel developments (not a sales pitch).  The previous Vendor Sessions in 2022 were well received, as they were scientific, interesting, and relevant for the audience.  If your company will have presentation slides, they can be dropped off at the Presentation Desk at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre on Monday, June 19.

Please CLICK HERE to provide your presentation details no later than May 22, 2023.
