You’ve made the decision to attend ProMat 2013 in Chicago.  Time will go quickly, so how do you make sure you use your time wisely?  First, bookmark the website if you have not done so already.  Next, register and get your travel plans in order. Will you be flying in for the full week or just a couple days?  Now that you know how much time you have, check out the exhibitor Directory.  Then make a list of all the exhibitors you are plan to visit.  If you would like to spend more time with specific ones, contact them prior to the show.  Let them know, so they can arrange to set some time aside for you.  Many of the exhibitors will be hosting a reception.  These are key times to meet and network with other associates and your peers.  After you have made your appointments, book your hotel based on where you will spend the most time in Chicago.  You may want a hotel at the convention center or perhaps one downtown.
