Invite Program to invite and register thousands
of their customers and prospects to the best

a win-win. They generate even more sales leads
and their VIPs save money. Here’s how:
1.	COMP Codes — Let Customers &
Prospects Register for Free
Every exhibitor receives a unique complimentary
(“COMP”) code to share with customers and
prospects.* Look for the code in emails that have
been sent to your company’s designated Show
Contact and on the chip attached to this Playbook.
Share your code however you like, with as many
end-user customers and prospects as you like, so
they can attend free-of-charge.

the Customer Invite Tool — it’s easy! Or use our
