EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION FORM
Largest Expo of it’s kind in the country!

It’s time to prepare for the 27th Annual Heart of America Snow Plow and

American Public Works Association (APWA) and will be held, once again, at
the New Century Business Park Airport, located in Gardner, Kansas (167th

Agency participants demonstrate mastery of skills around the use of heavy
equipment such as: Snow Plows, Backhoes, Rubber-Tired Loaders, Skid
Steer Loaders, Sweepers, and Excavators. Other events, such as CDL
skills and hands-on mechanical work competitions also earn participants various awards.
Training events are also a popular draw at the Expo. Scheduled training events for 2014 currently include:
Flagger training, CDL training, Emergency Weather Training, Safety Data Sheets Training Mechanic
Emergency Snow Equipment Troubleshooting, and Work zone Safety . Please contact the Expo committee if you would like to host additional courses.
Exhibitors and Sponsors Make this Event Possible
There are multiple ways for you to sponsor this event! In return, your company name will be prominently
displayed during the event, according to the level of support given. All sponsors will receive a plaque in
recognition of their support and all sponsors will be listed on the Expo website with a link to their company
website. Three levels of support have been designated, as follows:
GOLD = $500 donation
SILVER = $250 donation
BRONZE = $100 donation
In addition to the above, lunch sponsorships will be available for $500.00 per day and will be awarded in
order of request. Lunch sponsors are afforded the opportunity to provide videos or PowerPoint presentations of company products and services throughout the day. If needed, APWA audio/visual equipment will
be available to use Monday thru Thursday in the lunch area.
Other vendors may be interested in contributing $50.00 per day for the refreshment area sponsorship.
With this contribution, vendors can display their company logo and information in the refreshment area
during the registration period.
Without your support this event would not even be possible!
Additional sponsorship and donations above these amounts are both welcome and appreciated.
