2018 BMP SUMMIT EXHIBITOR OPPORTUNITIES
Thursday, February 8, 2018 at 2:38PM
This year 1.5 day BMP Summit (April 3-4) is followed by 2-day CISEC TRAINING (April 5-6).
The EXHIBIT Hall will be in the Classroom (the “Barn”). You will have a chance to be involved in the dialog and discussions. Every break will be an opportunity to mingle and connect.
John and Craig Benson, combined with the excellent Shasta College Venue have attracted 50-100 attendees in the past.
The CISEC Training, lead by Jerry Fifield and Tina Evans, is being offered for the first time in Northern California. We are anticipating some attendees will stay for both offerings but the CISEC Training will definitely attract participants from another pool of professionals.
