W EEKLY EDITION SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 Getting the Ball Rolling for the 2019 Trade Show and Convention RETTERATH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Here is how the process works. First, the PSAI staff puts each supplier's name into a hat that corresponds with their Membership level. Since we currently have only one titanium supplier, they automatically choo se their space first. (If you want to be in the running to choose first, now is the time to contact me about an upgrade to titanium!) Then, starting with platin um Members, and going on to gold and silver, staff draw companies out of the hat, one by one, un til all suppliers at these levels have been placed in order for space selection. This drawing process is broadcast live using a web cast so you can watch the process unfold and be confident that the process was fair to all concerned. Following the drawin g, there are select dates during which companies at each level submit their preferences for booth space(s). Preferences will be honored in accordance with the drawing order. Once the platinum, gold, and silver Members have chosen their space, the floor is open for bronze Members to choose. Eventually, nonmembers are offered the option to select space as well. How to log on for the drawing: You can join the live stream of the drawing on September 27 at 10:00 am central time through the WebEx meeting platfor m.

The number is: +1 - 510 - 338 - 9438 The times are a - changin ' : If you have been attending the PSAI Convention and Trade Show for many years you probably "know the drill." However, there are many new things this year. Let me touch on just a few of them. F irst: we heard you! The event schedule has been adjusted so everything starts a day earlier in the week and will end a day earlier too. We're still working on the full schedule, but please keep this in mind: Exhibitor move - in starts Tuesday, March 26, 201 9 The Show opens Wednesday, March 27, 2019 The Show closes Thursday, March 28, 2019 Next: We are focused on adding more educational value for operators and maximizing their understanding of key products and services in our industry that will help them wit h the business success. So this year at the Convention and Trade Show we will introduce a new feature. The HOLLway sessions, Hands On Learning Labs, will allow attendees to see, touch, and interact with equipment, learn processes, and ask questions of expe rts. These sessions will take place during a dedicated period on the schedule when the show is not otherwise open. A special ad hoc volunteer team comprised of operators and suppliers has identified many areas of focus and have chosen these topics for this year's HOLLway sessions: CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 P AGE 2
