- Connect with conference attendees through direct messaging.
- Conference schedule is included in the app. You can even customize the schedule to fit your needs.

The popular silent auction is Wednesday, March 25. If you plan to bring a silent auction item to showcase in your booth, they will be included in the conference program as long as the Exhibitor Silence Auction form is received by the deadline. Use the silent auction to increase traffic in your booth. The money earned from the silent auction is dedicated to the MCFOA Scholarship Fund.
A bidding sheet will be provided to you at your booth.
The auction closes at 2:30 p.m. At this time, keep your item and bidding sheet at your booth. The volunteers will handle collecting and connecting with the top bidder.

Another highlight of the Exhibitor Show on Wednesday, March 25 is the chance for participants to win fabulous door prizes. You are not allowed to hold drawings for prizes in your booth; however, you may collect business cards for contacts.
If you plan to bring a door prize, leave it at the Registration table along with a business card with the door prize so we can properly acknowledge it. Drawings are conducted throughout the day.
Offering an opportunity for a door prize is a real draw to your booth at the Exhibitor Show. Be sure to make it count and complete the Exhibitor Door Prize form.
