FAQs*
• Why won’t SIR offer industry “suites” for lunch or daytime
corporate events?
– SIR feels strongly that all exhibitors should have a chance to
interact with our attendees, and we will continue to encourage
that attendees visit the hall during breaks and lunch. And adding
additional industry sessions is usually not possible since SIR
uses all the available space at the center for its very full program.
• Are there any free opportunities with the Mobile App?
– Yes, all companies may upload their logo and pdf handouts
– All companies may participate in the Passport Program
*these are not dumb questions
