Being involved in this event gives you the opportunity to expose more people to your company and position yourself as a leader in your industry. Within the industry you have many opportunities to exhibit throughout the year. Why be a part of the ASCET Convention? Vendor space at events like this can run into thousands of dollars. The ASCET Convention is by far one of the least expensive and will give you the best value for your money.
Why Exhibit? PUT YOUR BUSINESS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
