Vermont Chamber of Commerce Announces EXPO 2009 Platinum Sponsors
On May 20th and 21st, business leaders from across Vermont, New York, New England and Canada will gather at northern New England’s largest business-to-business trade show, the Vermont Business & Industry EXPO.
This is the Business Expo’s 25th anniversary. The Expo provides an opportunity to learn about business resources and networking opportunities. This year, the event will take place at the Sheraton Hotel & Conference Center in Burlington, VT.
The Vermont Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the three presenting sponsors of EXPO 2009: FairPoint Communications, IBM, and Vermont Business Magazine (VBM).
"FairPoint is investing in a next generation network to deliver broadband technology and other advanced communications services to every corner of Vermont," said Eric Barie, Vermont Marketing Manager for FairPoint. "The Vermont Business EXPO provides us with an excellent opportunity to connect with current and prospective customers and highlight our network's versatility."
Marie Houghton of IBM said, “EXPO is a wonderful opportunity for Vermont businesses to get together to network, learn about new business practices and hear from nationally renowned speakers on current business topics. It's a ‘must attend’ event.”
And, John Boutin of Vermont Business Magazine said, VBM has “enthusiastically participated in the Vermont Business and Industry EXPO since 1985. There is no other place where VBM can reach our primary audience all in one place. The Vermont Business and Industry EXPO allows our staff, from editorial, sales, production and circulation to network with our readers and advertisers. VBM can boast that the two days at EXPO produces far more subscriptions than we can sign-up in any other two day period in the year.
The Vermont Business & Industry EXPO is organized by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. The Trade show will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20th and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 21st. The show features nearly 200 exhibitors on the EXPO Tradeshow floor and 3,000 business professionals.
