Technology Update Panel
A Marketing Opportunity For Manufacturers
At Forum 2002, the Saturday afternoon program will be devoted to a series of presentations by member companies intended to both provide useful information on technology as well as the opportunity to acquaint attendees with their companies, and the products and services they offer.
Elements of the Program
- All manufacturers are eligible.
- There will be six slots of 25 minutes each, including questions and answers.
- Selection criteria will include: the order of receipt of requests, a desire to have depth and breadth to the presentations, and special consideration for small and medium size companies.
- Presentation focus: The presentation should focus on changes in technology, what it means for the industry, your company, and your dealers. The presentation should explain how the changes in technology are translating into changes in your company's products and services with illustrative examples allowed. You may mention what new products or features your company introduced last year or plans to introduce in 2002. However, this is NOT just a 25 minute commercial for your company.
