EXHIBIT OPPORTUNITIES

The PBS Technology Conference offers an excellent opportunity for you to reach the key decision makers within public broadcasting’s engineering, IT and traffic communities.  The Exhibit Hall is strategically located right next to the main General Session room and is open during and after the conference to allow attendees numerous opportunities to visit your booth.  To further drive traffic to your booth, all breakfast meals, all breaks and the Thursday evening cocktail reception are located in (or near) the Exhibit Hall to ensure that attendees get extra time to stop by for conversation and product demonstrations.

Our exhibit space sells out each year, so please secure your booth early!
