Door Prizes/Making Your Display Interesting Exhibitors are encouraged to bring a basket for patrons to submit a business card or contact information, to be drawn for prizes at a designated time set forth by that Exhibitor. This is an excellent way to see who has visited your table and build a contact list. You may provide brochures, giveaways, other items of interest, or appetizer-size food samples (commercially pre-packaged; and no water/soft drinks). To discourage “swag-gathering” behavior, we suggest that you ask visitors to engage with you in some way before offering a giveaway. 5.

A representative from your organization must be present at your table/booth throughout the event. However, a BWA member may be available to staff your table while you take a necessary break.
