Millen, GA – The announcement last month of the SEPC’s new addition of the Bright Ideas Platform to Southern Innovations Symposium has been buzzing around the industry, creating a high demand for an extension for members to apply until June 29, 2015.
With a new, smaller approach to tradeshows, the Bright Ideas Platform will provide exhibitors and attendees the ability to be the first introduced to the newest and most innovative products and services the industry has to offer. With only 50 exhibitor spaces available, this new opportunity sets out to provide intimate and quality driven networking for its’ members.
“We want to make sure all companies that want to apply for an exhibit space have the opportunity to do so. We expect record attendance from the retail and foodservice community and know this is an opportunity our members will want to be a part of. We’ve designed this new show so all feel welcome and see it as a beneficial and affordable way to network within the industry, “ said Harold Paivarinta, SEPC Education Committee Chair.
All SEPC member companies are invited to apply to exhibit at the Bright Ideas Platform, but space will be on a first come, first served basis. Applications will be reviewed by the SEPC Education Committee and will need to fulfill the following requirements: * The qualifying product or service must be scheduled to release to market between March 23, 2015 – December 14, 2015. * The qualifying product or service must be new to the Southeast market area.
Southern Innovations Symposium will be held September 17 – 19, 2015 in Charleston, South Carolina, with the Bright Ideas Platform held on Friday, September 18th from 12:30 – 3:00pm.
