IPIC Exhibitor Policies
To ensure fair and consistent procedures in the selection of Technology Showcase participants, the Government Information Technology Executive Council (GITEC) has developed and enforces the following structure, policies and procedures:
 |
Blank proposal forms are given to each IPIC attendee and exhibitor. Any company who does not attend IPIC may request forms be sent to them. |
|
|
Companies interested in participating in the Technology Showcase must complete a proposal form and submit the completed proposal via email, fax or mail to the Council business office. The fax and mailing information are on the proposal form. |
| |
|
Each year the Council President appoints a selection committee to review all proposals received for that year's conference. |
|
|
Proposal consideration elements include, but are not limited to: |
 |
How does the content fit with the conference theme? |
|
How timely is the subject? |
|
Will there be value and interest to the conferee? |
|
Has the exhibit, with little or no change, been presented at previous IPICs? |
|
|
What is the quality level? |
|
What support has the proposing company provided within the past three years to the Council/IPIC? |
|
|
Is a company VIP (CEO and/or President) on the agenda? |
|
Has the proposing company had any violations of the Council's "Private Sector Participation Guidelines & Policies"? |
|
|
If the proposing company has participated in previous years, have they met deliverable due dates? |
|
|
Companies who are selected will receive a congratulatory letter and two contracts. Contracts must be signed by the company representative and one contract returned to the Council business office by the date specified in the letter. |
| |
|
Companies who submit proposals and are not selected will receive a letter from the Council notifying them their proposal was not selected and thanking them for their support and interest. |
| |
|
Specific area/space assignment considerations include: |
| |
|
Previous years space location(s) |
|
Facility requirements (electric, room size, etc.) |
|
Space requested (full or shared space) |
|
Company support |
|
Competitors usually will not be placed in shared space |
|
Companies MAY NOT request/choose their space |
|
|
Once the committee has made the final selection decision, no additional proposals will be accepted. The committee selections are final. |
