REGISTER FOR EXHIBIT SPACE ONLINE!
Booth registration online is fast and easy. 2014 exhibitors should follow the link to the exhibit contract that was included in the email sent on July 15. Once the contract is submitted, a confirmation is emailed within 48 hours. Space will be released if payment is not received within seven days of confirmation.
PROTECTED EXHIBIT VIEWING HOURS CONTINUE
TMC will again schedule exhibit hall hours to maximize your networking opportunities. During all exhibit hall hours there will be no other TMC functions scheduled! Monday’s Grand Opening and Reception, Tuesday’s Walk-Around Luncheon and evening reception, and Wednesday’s final viewing period will bring the attendees to the exhibit hall each day of the show.
TMC CONTINUES FOCUS ON TRAILERS
TMC will once again spotlight trailers and aerodynamic devices in 2015! The Exhibition floor plan contains several booth spaces designed for manufacturers of trailers and/or aerodynamic devices. Each space is 20’x70’, with 20’ of empty space on either side for better viewing. These booths will only be available for manufacturers of trailers and aerodynamic devices, and are offered at a special trailer booth price.
INDUSTRY’S BEST DRAYAGE RATES
On behalf of the supplier community, TMC has secured a competitive (showsite) drayage rate with Freeman Decorating Company, the general service contractor for TMC’s 2015 exhibit. We’ve also secured competitive pricing on other exhibit-related services, such as show labor and furnishings to help you keep costs down.

EXHIBITOR SERVICES MANUAL TMC, FREEMAN DECORATING COMPANY and the GAYLORD CONFERENCE CENTER have joined forces to prepare the Exhibitor Services Manual (ESM) for each
exhibitor participating. The ESM will contain information on how to order furniture, carpet, labor, electrical hookups and telephone services for the show, and will contain personnel registration and hotel reservation forms. As in the past, the ESM will be accessible to all exhibitors online, and will also be available in printed form. Each exhibitor will receive one ESM at no charge, additional ESM’s will be available for $25 per copy. EXHIBITOR BADGE POLICIES 1. Admission to the exhibit area is by badge only. Security personnel will be on duty at all entrances. NOTE: Exhibitor badges will not admit your personnel to Council meetings, business sessions, or food and social functions outside of the Exhibit Area. 2. Exhibitor badges are not needed to admit your personnel to the exhibit area for booth set-up/tear-down. 3. If you require more than your allotted complimentary exhibitor badges, there will be a charge of $125 for each additional badge. Badge request forms will be sent with the Exhibitor Manuals after booth assignment. Tuesday’s “Walk-around Luncheon” tickets will be provided with each exhibitor badge. Beverages will be available for purchase at all evening receptions. 4. You do not need to purchase exhibitor badges for personnel who are fully registered for the meeting. They will receive the usual Blue Associates Badge which identifies them as a paid, fully-registered meeting participant as well as an Exhibitor, and their book of tickets will cover all food/beverage functions as well as admittance to the Exhibit Hall. 5. Exhibitor Personnel are not permitted to “sell” in the aisles outside of their booth space. This policy is strictly enforced by TMC’s Sgt.-at-Arms Committee. 6.

PRODUCT DISPLAYS OUTSIDE EXHIBITION AREAS Product displays in hotel or convention center parking lots or within a member’s or member company’s rented hotel room are prohibited during the general meeting period. Violation of this policy will subject the member and/ or company to action by TMC’s Board of Directors. Violation of said policy may be cause for cancellation of membership and exhibition privileges. HOSPITALITY SUITES In order not to diminish attendance at exhibit or scheduled business functions of TMC General Meetings, TMC prohibits hospitality suites, rental of meeting hotel space, use of bartenders, musicians, or hotel staff for business/entertainment functions at the host hotel(s) or sponsorships, or to otherwise engage in organized offsite activity/entertainment in or out of the hotel/convention center at any time during the general meeting and exhibit period.

Such activities are a violation of TMC regulations and said company/ individual’s membership, meeting attendance and/or exhibition privileges are subject to cancellation. The general meeting period is defined as the first day of the General Meeting through General Meeting adjournment each day as defined in the meeting program. Members may invite friends to their rooms or suites for refreshments or dinner during periods when no regular TMC function is scheduled, providing the above policy is not abused. Formal or printed invitations for entertainment/ business sessions at the contracted hotels held during the general
meeting period are prohibited. Special events may be approved at the discretion of TMC’s Board of Directors. REGULATIONS ON COUNTERFEITING An exhibitor may not show any counterfeit products, or another manufacturer’s products which have been purchased or taken from a distributor or another manufacturer, or any products which are deemed by TMC Show Management at its sole discretion to be deceptively or illegally marketed. Exhibitors who display products on the show floor or offer products in their catalogues displayed at TMC’s exhibition that are found to violate a patent or trademark will face sanctions by TMC Show Management. Sanctions are up to the Show Manager and may include closing the booth, together with a ban from the show and loss of seniority privileges and other sanctions as deemed appropriate by TMC how Management.

“There is no other meeting where a fleet manager can find so many answers to their questions and opportunities to network with peers who face the same challenges or already have a solution to an issue that they are willing to share. Along with the knowledge you gain from other fleet managers, there is no other meeting that I know of that both manufacturers and vendors are represented by not only senior sales staff, but also the engineers that helped design and test these products they represent. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from the other members of this organization and over the years acquired a lot of life long friends.”

TMC’s 2015 Transportation Technology Exhibition! TMC 2015 Exhibit To Feature ‘Alternative Fuels’ Pavilion Few issues are changing transportation’s calculus as much as the movement toward alternative fuels. Some estimates put the sales of natural gas vehicles alone at one-third of the Class 8 truck market in 2020. The federal Energy Information Administration estimates global sales for natural gas heavy trucks at 275,000 units in 2035, up from a mere 860 in 2010. Coupled with sales of diesel-hybrid electric/hydraulic vehicles, fuel-cell powered trucks and other technologies, the trucking industry is in for major changes. The pressure on fleets to adopt alternative fuel technologies is coming from two directions: increasingly stricter local regulations and perhaps an even greater force – the customer. Consumer products giant Proctor & Gamble has said it will award freight to fleets using natural-gas powered trucks for as much 20 percent of its nationwide network. Food giant General Mills has similar requirements for its carrier base. The 2015 TMC exhibit will provide one-stop shopping for the busy fleet executive who wants to quickly get up to speed on all segments of the alternative fuels market. Mid-range trucks will be included as well. Maintenance and purchasing executives will ultimately be charged with developing the proper spec’s and making the right decisions for alternative fuels appropriate to their fleet. Make sure your company gets in front of the right audience by reserving a spot in TMC’s 2015 Alternative Fuels Pavilion today.
