NEW! Engage with Attendees and Support the Future through a Silent Auction
Increase traffic to your booth by providing a gift basket or similar item valued at a minimum of $100. Proceeds from the silent
auction support Minnesota Milk’s scholarship fund.

How it works? Attendees will have the opportunity to stop by your booth, bid on the item, and interact with your business. Silent
auction items will be on display in your booth until 6:00 p.m. Wednesday evening when silent auction bidding concludes. The items
will be awarded to the highest bidder at the conclusion of the banquet on Wednesday evening. Note: Cheese grab bags and the live
auction will still continue. The live auction will feature specialty cheese and big ticket items.

Be sure to check the box (live vs. silent) on the registration form to ensure your item is included in the auction catalog.

NEW! Johnny Holm Band
We are trying something new as we celebrate dairy with our first concert. The Johnny Holm Band will be providing attendees with a
private concert sure to provide lasting memories.

Cheese and Butter Grab-bag Sale
Like last year, while much cheese and butter will be at the auction, grab bags will be available at a booth sponsored by the Upper
Midwest Dairy Industry Association in the Expo.

Hospitality Suites
Four hospitality suites will be available for those wanting to socialize after the auction.

Trade Show Vendor Agreement & Guidelines

Treasure Island Trade Show Vendor Agreement & Guidelines

All table, chair, electrical and miscellaneous supply needs, need to be communicated to the event planner one week in advance. If
additional equipment is needed when you arrive, staff will be happy to assist, however there may be a charge. Please understand
that staff will help as soon as possible but there may be a wait for last minute requests.

Packages can only be shipped to Treasure Island three days prior to the start of the event. Please ship them to the warehouse, not
the hotel or Event Center. Anything that arrives on a Sunday will be refused unless it was set up prior to that day and the Treasure
Island team has been notified. Any costs incurred from the refusal of packages are the vendor’s responsibility. At the conclusion
of the event we will send any outbound packages out for you if they are properly wrapped and have a pre-paid address label
attached. It is the vendor’s responsibility to supply their own labels and wrapping materials. Treasure Island staff will direct you
to an area where your package can be left in the tradeshow room. If you are scheduling a pick up from an outside carrier, this
information must be communicated and approved to/by the Banquet Manager. You must notify a Treasure Island Team Member if
you have any outgoing packages to ensure timely shipping.

Vendors loading in must be self-sufficient and bring their own carts/hand jacks. Access to the Event Center storage area is allowed
during load in/out only. Treasure Island equipment is not available for use. Doors are not to be propped open and garage doors
must remain closed after load in. Staff will be on site to assist with needs and will get to them as soon as possible.

When loading out, please dispose of cardboard/pallets properly in the dumpster behind the Event Center. Anything left behind
will be held for 10 days and then disposed of.

Free WI-FI is available. Select the Server: PublicAccess, open a browser and agree to the terms and conditions.

Please contact the event coordinator for load in/set-up times. No early admittance allowed.

Please address all packages as follows:
