COMING FEBRUARY 13th: 2023 Hands-On Speed Dating Availability

Words: Dan Kamys

The 2023 MCAA Midyear Meeting is scheduled for September 17-21 in Hershey, Pennsylvania at the historic Hotel Hershey. While we are still ironing out the details and full schedule, we are shortly going to make Hands-On Speed Dating Spots available to supplier companies. Availability will begin on Monday, February 13th, 2023 and is set to follow a structured rollout based off of supplier membership level.  

This year's opportunities are:

GOLDEN BREAKFAST SPONSORSHIP (1 Available, $7,000): There will be one Golden Breakfast Sponsorship available. As part of this sponsorship, the presenting company will be able to deliver a presentation during the breakfast portion of the event.

SPEED DATING “SUITES” (12 Available, $7,000 each): Get the opportunity to have contractors get “hands on” with your equipment. Provide our members an educational opportunity unlike any other in 20-minute sessions. 

NEW! SPEED DATING BREAK ZONE (TBD, $4,500 each): These are unique spaces in the communal area that will allow supplier companies to interact with contractors during two planned breaks. Marketing material may be brought in as part of the Speed Dating Break Zone Sponsorship.

Due to demand, we will be following the same structured availability for all Speed Dating opportunities that we established for the 2022 Event.
