by Morgan Pettrone, Marketing Communications Program Manager at MHI
It’s already mid-february and we’re two months away from ProMatDX – the most important week of 2021 for the manufacturing and supply chain industry. If you are a sponsor at ProMatDX, welcome and thank you for participating in this new digital event experience! These next two months are going to be critical to gain pre-show leads and prepare for the live event April 12-16. To make preparation as seamless as possible, we have put together a sponsor to-do list to help you stay organized and on top of every deadline.

April 12-16-Manage Sponsor Staff/Coverage for the Week of ProMatDX
Showcase Page Chat
Plan the times each day that you will manage your Showcase Chat. Dedicated Sponsor Showcase hours are 12:00-1:00 PM and 3:00-4:00 PM CT each day (you can list your active hours when you update your Sponsor Showcase – it defaults to the show hours 9:00 AM-5:00 PM CT).
Moderate Seminar and Product Demo Q&A
Moderate the Q&A during your Seminars and Product Demos. The Q&A will be managed through Slido so it does not have to be one of your Grip sponsor reps managing Q&A.
Set Grip Meetings with Attendees
Utilize Grip to find and engage attendees whose needs match your solution offering and conduct video meetings with specific attendees. Grip meetings can only take place April 12-18, but you can hold meetings 24/7 to accommodate international attendees. Visit exhibit.mhi.org and click on How To’s to view information on resources on how to engage with Grip.
