    • Power Pitches Instead of Booth Time

Sponsors and exhibitors don’t sit in a separate room hoping people will approach them. They are active participants in the conference and each gets time to speak to and present their products to the entire attendance base during the conference.

    • High Quality Networking

SWPTA is known for its unique spirit of inclusion; this is a group of people who know how to network and have a good time together like a family. Everyone is welcome and actively included in our events. Good company means a great time, lasting relationships and SWPTA knows how to create an environment where that is a guaranteed result.
