THINGS TO DO IMMEDIATELY
- Register your project. One of the first things that you need to
do to prepare for the exhibit is to register. We need your personal information
and the correct title of your project and any special needs for the exhibit. To
register see your department head as soon as possible.
Make sure you see your department head soon. Watch out for the registration deadlines
which will be posted online shortly. The formal signs to be used in your booth will
be printed from the information submitted.
SETTING UP
Set up is May 06, 2009. You will be allowed to set up late afternoon
and evening of May 06th. You will be notified of the exact times as soon as they
are available. You will be entering Duke Energy Center through the docks at the
Sixth Street entrance. Tear down for your exhibit will be following the Awards Ceremony

DURING TECH EXPO
This is the 23rd Applied Science Tech Expo. Congratulations
on your achievement! In order to enjoy your day please follow the guidelines listed
below during the exhibit hours of 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. A schedule
of events is included in your exhibitor material.
- Judges will be visiting your exhibit between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
You need to be present in your booth during these hours. If for some reason you
need to leave for a few minutes be sure to leave a sign with the time when you will
return. (A UC photographer will also be taking photos of all seniors and their projects,
booths without exhibitors do not make good photographs!)
- Exhibitor bags are provided with Tech Expo information, bottled water and granola
bars – Thank you Applied Science Ambassadors!
- Remember to take turns with other exhibitors when leaving your booths. There should
be someone to answer questions about your project at all times. When you take a
break or go to lunch make sure you have a “neighbor” exhibitor to stay
and answer questions visitors may have.
- Box lunches will be provided for you by the college between 12:00 p.m. and 1:30
p.m. Take turns with fellow exhibitors when going to lunch. please do not bring your lunch to your exhibitor’s
booth.

will host the Reception and Awards Ceremony.
AT TECH EXPO
Appropriate dress for Tech Expo, May 07th, 2009 is business casual (no jeans) unless
your department has made a requirement for suits. I know you will look great!
- Make sure two nearby exhibitors cover for you (and know when you will return)
whenever you are away from your display.
- Be sure you have a pocket for collecting business cards, etc.
- Also have a note pad and pen so that you can immediately record
