DRESS CODE:
What is the conference dress code?
We've decided sport coats and button downs are overrated. Dress for the entire conference is casual. In other words, if you want to wear jeans on Wednesday then go for it!
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES:
How much does it cost?
The Summit offers a rare combination of networking, social events and program. Attendees are free to form critical relationships with their peers in a relaxed environment. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet your peers whether it is at the sit-down dinners (where we specifically circulate you to have an opportunity to sit with all attendees), in the interactive sessions, at the cocktail receptions, during the icebreakers and networking activities. Seating is assigned at each of our events to encourage interaction.
SPONSORSHIPS:
Just how many sponsors are we talking about?
The Executive Vendor Summit is not a commercial endeavor, but a high-level meeting for presidents and senior executives from around the world. There will be very limited sponsorships available. We allow limited formal sponsor presentations, and allow the sponsors to briefly welcome the attendees to the Summit.
