Area businesses to get maximum exposure at May event

  • 2013-04-27
The annual Vermont Chamber of Commerce Business and Industry Expo will take place over two days in late May.

The expo is expected to feature approximately 200 exhibitors and draw around 3,000 visitors. It is the largest annual trade show in Vermont, and will be a great opportunity for new businesses to introduce themselves to the business community, or for old ones to establish new partnerships.

In addition to area businesses showcasing their products and services, there will also be four Building Block seminars, a reception, and business luncheon. Furthermore, the Centennial Business Awards will honor several of Vermont's oldest businesses. The majority of activities at the expo will be free but certain ones come with a cost; for example, the seminars are $10 each or $30 for all four.

Exhibitor booths can be rented from $346 to $1,444. No doubt a range of local companies, including those in nearby locations like Hinesburg, will be looking forward to participating in the expo. With less than a month to go until the event, local printing companies might well be busy helping them prepare for this popular annual event. Jazzing up booths with some colorful sign or banner printing is one way to stand out at events like this.

The 29th Business and Industry Expo will take place at the Sheraton-Burlington Hotel and Conference Center from May 22 - 23. Tickets are free if purchased before May 17 or $10 after. For more information, call 802-223-3443.
