SAN ANTONIO — Exhibitors at the 2018 UMA Motorcoach Expo in San Antonio are being offered the opportunity to present education sessions in the exhibit hall on January 8 and 9.
The United Motorcoach Association is
accepting proposals from exhibitors wanting to lead an education session on a topic that
would help motorcoach operators be more successful.
UMA officials stress that the sessions are not sales opportunities but will focus on assisting members in growing their businesses.
The sessions will be held on the show floor in the UMA presentation area. When possible and meaningful, some sessions will take place in the presenter’s booth.
UMA has offered educational sessions in the exhibit hall for the past five years and is seeking to continue improving those sessions by offering exhibitors the chance to create educational experiences on success-oriented topics.
In submitting proposals, companies should include:
- A summary and outline of the presentation
- A suggested title for the session
- Names of planned speakers, along with their company names, titles and any pertinent information that would qualify them as experts
- Time needed to complete the presentation (up to one hour)
- An explanation of how a proposed topic will lead to success for motorcoach operators
- Contact information for the person who will work with UMA staff to coordinate the session
Proposals are due by August 1. The UMA Meetings Committee will review the proposals and select finalists.
The submissions will be judged on educational value and relevance to motorcoach operators’ businesses. Companies selected to present education sessions will be treated as sponsors of the sessions and will be responsible for paying a $1,500 fee to cover audio-visual and other costs related to the sessions.
Questions about the proposals should be directed to Carrington Blake, UMA meetings manager, at cblake@uma.org or 703-838-2929.
