EVENT IS FULL!!!

We are truly sorry to have to close registration for this event, but for the safety of the students and attendees already registered, we need to cap registration. So sorry!

Thank you for your consideration in being an Exhibitor and Sponsor!

ENGAGING EXHIBITORS

This year, we doing something different: We're engaging, not simply informing.

We are asking all exhibitors to bring something interactive, demonstrative, or tactile that students and adult attendees can engage with.

• We want to avoid traditional ‘swag’ – especially if it wasn’t made in the US and/or didn’t support an American manufacturer or small business.

• Manufacturer Examples: Samples of stuff you make, machinery you make stuff with, cutaway parts, example pieces to assemble, etc.

• Resource Partner Examples: Skills match games, any mobile training exercises you may have, or partner with a manufacturer to bring in a demo item. 

Believe us, we know how difficult it is to find local, inexpensive swag, and since we're in this together, join us in thinking differently about swag. Local 3D printers to make a branded logo item? Local screen print shop to design and print a tee shirt or drawstring bag? There are options, but we need to all think outside the plastic logo water bottle to find them.

A fantastic resource is the Texas Manufacturing Network. Create your free account and from there you can look for local vendors to help. If you need help with TMN or with supplier questions, please contact brittany.rosenberg@tmac.org. We are a nation of innovators and creators. We can do this!

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM US:

• PLEASE Register all your booth attendees. We will need the full count for lunch. If you have any additional questions regarding registration, please feel free to reach out to robin.evans@tmac.org.
• All Exhibitors will receive an 8 ft table with 2 chairs (we will assign table locations)
• Electric for your booth

MOVE IN: Move in will be from 8 - 9:00 AM on Thursday, October 16, 2025. The exhibit hall opens at 9:30 AM for attendees.

OPTIONAL DONATION: Booths are free, but if you want to help offset the cost of this event, you can make a $200 donation during the registration process.

COOL STUFF SPONSORS

Thank you for considering joining us in this noble quest of getting cool stuff to cool students. The students will receive a card to have signed by each exhibitor they visit. Once they complete the card, they will be able to enter in the raffle for a prize!

We will be purchasing the cool stuff, however, if you would like to donate some cool, American made or American produced promo items from your organization, please reach out to outreach@tmac.org for more information.
