2 YOU ARE INVITED...to Select Your Participation Level... EXHIBITOR STANDARD EXHIBIT SPACE $2500 DESCRIPTION: This year we offer a chamber design to our event that directs attendees through the exhibits to reach the general session. It is our hope that this permits greater visibility of all companies and involvement in the fullness of the event. This year we also will feature up to five companies selecting our prime sponsorships for product demonstrations during our key exhibit periods. WHAT YOU GET: The Standard Exhibitor level gets a spot in our exhibit/general session space consisting of either a 10-ft x 8-ft or 10-ft x 5-ft space. Space selection is on a first come, first served basis. Fee includes registration of two persons ($1,040 value per person) to our entire event. Additional persons will be added at the same discounted multiple person rate as attending contractors and professionals ($445 ea.). SPONSOR Many companies look to build value to their participation at a major industry event like our Convention. This year, we have identified the opportunities with greater variety to fit your company budget. Please consider the following SPONSOR OPPORTUNITIES: CONVENTION SPONSOR $5000 (includes exhibit fee; only 2 available) DESCRIPTION: The TCA Convention will again this year be promoted as sponsored by two companies and Concrete Construction. These companies are included in all publishing, web presence and promotional sponsorship that is put forth by the TCA. WHAT YOU GET: Banner signs will proclaim this year s event sponsors. Your fee includes the exhibition space and the banner sponsor add-on. Event naming sponsors will also be given a demonstration slot in the exhibit hall during one of our five feature events. This 15-minute opportunity is designed to feature or demonstrate uniqueness, interest and value in your product(s). This demonstration opportunity will take place in our dedicated ring, center stage in the exhibit hall. In addition to recognition of your company throughout the duration of promotion, event and recap, your company will be given five (5) free invitations to the Opening Reception for customers of your choice ($400 value). MEAL SPONSOR $2500 (exhibit fee not included; only 3 available) DESCRIPTION: The TCA Convention will feature three meals this year in the exhibit hall to include two continental breakfasts and a luncheon on Thursday. Each of these breaks will be available for sponsorship by a TCA company(s). WHAT YOU GET: Companies selecting this opportunity will be promoted throughout the event as our meal sponsors and will have their company image proudly displayed during these sessions with signage. Like the Convention Sponsor, they too will have a 15-minute opportunity to demonstrate their company and product during these meal times. Companies selecting this opportunity will have the banner add-on included. In addition to the recognition of your company through the selected break; your company will be given two (2) free invitations to the Opening Reception for customers of your choice ($160 value). NOTE: Complimentary Convention Registrations that come with your sponsorship do not include your hotel lodging, taxes, fees, or admission to TCA special activities unless noted otherwise.

3 If the two opportunities for major sponsorship visibility, Convention Sponsor & Meal Sponsor, are not attractive to you this year, please consider the following a la carte sponsorships to add to your exhibit participation. These will further build value, recognition and visibility to your presence at the 2010 TCA Convention. BANNER SPONSOR: $500 DESCRIPTION: This year, vinyl banners with your company logo will line our path and proudly display the support of the industry as they have in year s past. We have created this opportunity as an add-on fee to help maintain the base cost of participation while defraying the handling costs, installation, and removal fees charged by the hotel. WHAT YOU GET: Companies wishing to have their banner displayed will be offered this add-on value to their exhibition fee. LANYARD SPONSOR: $1,000 This opportunity is being provided once again as a way for a company to single themselves out upon arrival of our Convention guests. One company, on a first come--first served basis, will be able to send lanyards to cover the anticipated number of attendees and guests to the Convention. GIVE-AWAY $200 MIN. PRIZE VALUE We once again seek to maintain attendance during exhibit times. This year, we have added a spin. To make it easier for you to participate, choose an item of your interest and value range and to facilitate write-offs more easily, the Global Associate Council has designed the event to offer as many items as there are participants. The TCA will be giving away one (1) new ipad during the opening evening. If your company wants to be involved in this opportunity, you need only identify your participation with the checkbox on your registration. Your company will be added to the participation card for the attendees. You will be required to arrive on site with an item(s) of your choice valued at no less than $200. The prizes will be divided equally between the two receptions (Wed. and Thurs. evenings) and noted for the participating company providing the item. ASSOCIATES GOLF INVITATIONAL $500 EACH Several companies were involved in give-aways during the Associates Golf Invitational $500 each. As a participating exhibitor/sponsor, you are being given the opportunity to buy a foursome(s) and invite attendees to join your team. See the golfing promotion on this page for complete information. Note: All players must be registered attendees/ exhibitor personnel at the Convention. Global Associates INVITATIONAL GOLF TOURNAMENT Wed., Sept. 29th, 7am-1pm We continue to evolve this event to maximize the potential for it to be a fun and effective networking event. Once again, this year it is located at the front of our event but has moved to the morning so ample time exists for booth set-up ahead of the Opening Reception. Again this year, we are asking our participating Global Associates to sponsor a four person team(s). As an exhibitor/sponsor, you will be able to purchase and then select your team(s) from Convention attendees. You are encouraged to consider this an opportunity to get your customers isolated for some fun and business but you design your team to fi t your interests. The TCA will begin a list of attendees who would like to participate in the golf event. As the list grows we will circulate this to the team sponsors. The list is a firstcome first-serve basis. Each sponsor will contact their chosen team members, and then contact the TCA with the names of the contractors they are sponsoring. Note: all players must be registered attendees/exhibitor personnel at the Convention. FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION SEE GOLFING INSERT IN THIS MAILING

4 EXHIBITION TIMES EXHIBITOR SET-UP: All exhibitors will be able to begin setting up their display at 8:00 am on Wednesday if they are not golfing. The exhibits must be finished by 5:30 pm and if you are participating in the golf event that morning you will still have about four hours for set-up. OPENING RECEPTION: Wednesday evening at 5:30 pm we will open our Convention formally. Attendees will get their first look at the products and technologies represented while cocktails and light hors d oeuvres are available until 7:30 pm. Make dinner plans with existing or potential clients and kick-start the networking that is the heart of Convention. This is also the first of two opportunities for attendees to get their passports stamped for the give-away drawings that we hope you are participating in. CONTINENTAL BREAKFASTS: The TCA will offer continental breakfast Thursday an Friday mornings at 7:30 am. During this time, you may want to be present as attendees will be able to circulate through the exhibition as they prepare for the morning of education starting at 7:30 am. Two of our Meal Sponsors will provide product demonstrations during these time slots EXHIBITOR LUNCH AND LEARN: Thursday, 11:45 am to 1:15 pm. Attendees will enjoy a buffet lunch while continuing to circulate through the exhibition space. This is another prime opportunity to share your opportunities with them in a different time frame. One Meal Sponsor will deliver a product demonstration during t his time slot. CLOSING RECEPTION: This is the final dedicated exhibition opportunity during the 2010 Convention. Although your booths may remain on display the duration of the Convention, this three-hour event is designed to give you more focused one-on-one time with customers. It begins immediately following the last education session Thursday afternoon, 4:30-7:30 pm. This is also the final opportunity for that passport giveaway program for the attendees... and you. We intend to have an area central to the exhibits set for demonstrations during this closing event to further provide excitement and interest. ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS: The Tilt-Up industry is a collaborative effort. The educational value of the Convention extends beyond contractor or design professional. As a TCA member, we also hope that you fi nd value in the education we provide. We encourage every one of your attending personnel to be present during the education sessions. Session moderators will be keeping side conversations to a minimum so that the focus will be on education while in session. Don t miss this opportunity to learn along with your customers. Take your support up a notch and select one of the Sponsor levels listed on the previous pages. Complete the enclosed registration form.
