This will be an opportunity for Purchasing/Supply Management professionals to source current needs, have some fun and take away some ideas that can be put to work as soon as they return to the office. Your company can provide handout material on how to do business with your company, your company's products, and could display a sign showing the specific commodities/parts/services that you currently need.

During the show, we will be holding "how to" classes of about 20 minutes each on various topics. Exhibitors and attendees may attend these workshops. Tentative topics for classes include:

	How to Network	How to plan logistically
	How to utilize web based business service providers	How to hedge on energy prices
	How to buy a motor	How to do and purchase for event planning
	How to buy printing	How to best provide transportation for your company
	How to buy packaging	Is quality control something you can subcontract

Suggestions for other topics gladly accepted.
