We do not provide a list of attendees PRIOR to the trade show and conference. At the conference, you will be given a printed conference directory and access to the digital version. It will have all of the dealers in attendance listed with photos and contact information.

The conference directory is an digital and printed resource we create to serve both our dealers and sponsors. Inside is a full listing of all dealers and all sponsors in attendance with headshots, logos, and contact information. Our dealers report to us that this is their “go-to” guide throughout the year to get in touch with suppliers. They use it heavily.

This year, there are 1/2 page ads available for sponsors. Indicate your interest in this Grizzly Peak promotional add-on in your company registration.

We also have event agendas, location information, and logistical details for the conference and trade show inside.
