Exhibit space for GLBC is now being reserved on a first come,

and attract broadcasters from throughout Michigan and surrounding
states.
By exhibiting, you will have direct contact with general managers,
engineers, producers, programmers, sales staff, production directors,
news directors and others - in one place, at one time.
In 2007, more than 1,300 broadcasters attended the GLBC.
MAB designs the GLBC so it is Michigan's premier broadcasting event. Plus,
the exhibit hall is open free to all broadcasters! MAB crams all the
programs and sessions into two days so that guests save time and

To assist your company with planning and budgeting, keep the following
items in mind regarding the GLBC:
-
Location. GLBC is in Grand Rapids
which is about 1 hour from Lansing and two hours from Detroit. If you are flying,
MAB suggests flying into
Grand Rapids (GRR) Gerald R. Ford International Airport which is about 5 miles from the
conference center.
-
Hotel. The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel is connected to the expo hall.
-
Exhibit Fees: Fees include a 10x10 space and include a table, chairs and
wastebasket, meals, and internet access. GLBC rates include all the basics so your
company is not incurring minor expenses. However, electric
and phone hookups are extra.
-
Attendee Fees: MAB does not charge any money for broadcasters to
visit the exhibit hall. Many come just to walk through the exhibits.
Sponsorships are available. MAB prefers to customize your sponsorship to best work
for you.
