GLOBAL Page 15 Dynamic Agenda Announced for April's 2019 MEA Conference (continued on page 16) New Features in the Exhibit Hall BICSI MEA has made some exciting changes to the Exhibit Hall. This year delegates will have an extra evening to wander the show floor. Exhibitors will also benefit from larger booth size options, making it more comfortable to network with attendees. In addition, BICSI has added two new features to the Exhibit Hall: The BICSI Theater and the Technology Showcase. In the BICSI Theater, participating exhibitors will give 15-minute presentations to explain what their company can do for you. In the Technology Showcase, attendees will get a first-look at new and recently introduced products, services and projects. It's not too late to sign up as an exhibitor/sponsor. Learn more at bicsi.org/mea2019/exhibitors. Earn CECs Along with all this new knowledge, delegates will earn continuing education credits (CECs) for the BICSI credentials that they hold. Additional CECs can be earned by attending Pre-Conference Masterclasses available on Monday and Tuesday. This conference also fulfills the RCDD Conference Credit Requirement.
