New Product Showcase
The Gulf Coast Conference will sponsor a New Product Showcase to provide a forum for the introduction of new technology and innovation to our attendees. On Tuesday and Wednesday of the meeting there will be special table top displays with new products and technology for your examination. Several vendors will provide these products and personnel to describe them during specific times in the convention center lounge area.
We are asking all Attendees to stop by and take a look at these products and complete an opinion survey about what you see. A drawing will take place on Wed afternoon and one attendee will receive a prize. Must be present to win! The GCC will appreciate your participation, and we know that the participating vendors will as well!
Listed below are the participating exhibitors.
