NCMS Sustainment Accelerator

Exhibition spaces are limited so reserve yours quickly. Additionally, only one space will be allocated per company.

This will be a great opportunity for the end-users to get hands-on experience with your technology. To provide the most impact, actual demonstrations of capabilities when applicable are highly encouraged.

If you have any questions about being an exhibitor, please contact eventsupport@ncms.org

Exhibit Space: Exhibitor registration includes one 6’ table with (2) chairs.  Due to limited space, only one exhibitor space will be allocated per company.

Wifi Internet Access: Internet access will not be provided by the shipyard. Plan to bring preloaded programs on your device, or on CDs or USBs.

Shipping: There is no direct shipping option. All demonstration and display materials must be carried on site. We recommend shipping directly to your hotel. Please call your hotel to inquire about any shipping and handling fees.

Electricity: Electricity is available throughout the room, but it is limited. Extension cords and power strips will not be provided. Exhibitors will be responsible for providing their own extension cords. Be sure they are long enough to extend across a room.

Event Security: No security staffing will be provided during the event or after hours for the exhibition area. Be sure to remove valuable items each evening. NCMS shall, under no circumstances, be liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged items

Each exhibitor’s space will be visited by individuals representing Government, Industry, and Academia. Please have a prepared “elevator” description of your technology and how it will benefit maintenance and sustainment efforts. This prepared speech should engage your audience quickly. Be prepared to demonstrate your technology or offer a short presentation on how your technology works. Be sure that you have deliverables that speak to the benefits of your technology, and if possible, create handouts or other marketing collateral.

Actionable Items

• Make sure your team has an elevator speech. Be prepared to describe your technology solution/service and its benefits in 30 seconds or less.
• Demo, demo, demo! Demonstrations draw attention at the event.
• Bring plenty of collateral!
• Keep your exhibit space staffed. Traffic is unpredictable and intermittent, so plan to have a representative at your table during all show hours.
• Refrain from packing up or leaving before the event ends. An empty tabletop reflects poorly upon your company/organization.
• Online Directory: As a part of exhibitor registration, you are required to submit company and technical abstracts. To make a lasting impact, be sure to complete this package by submitting your logo and quad chart to eventsupport@ncms.org.
