Exhibitor Base Rates
The Masonry Society is pleased to allow minor exhibitions at most of our meetings to allow vendors a chance to interact with attendees while exhibiting their products and services. Exhibitors at TMS Meetings assist the Society in holding down meeting costs for attendees, while allowing them access to the attendees. All Exhibitions are subject to approval of TMS’s Meetings Committee.
Exhibitors will be recognized on the appropriate “Meetings” Webpage of the TMS Website using their logo and a link to the Exhibitor’s website. Exhibitors will also be recognized on a “Sponsor/Exhibitor poster” at the Meetings. TMS will also look for other opportunities to easily, but inexpensively, recognize Exhibitors such as during event breaks, prior to/or during the Member/Guest Receptions, and via written programs and signage. Exhibitors will be ordered on the website and on all signage alphabetically.
Exhibitors will be provided, if requested, a mailing list of meeting attendees for their marketing purposes. Email addresses will not be given to Exhibitors. Marketing to attendees both at the meetings and following it is expected to be professional and appropriate in nature*. Exhibitors that inappropriately contact or market to attendees may be denied future exhibition opportunities.
