The League is offering all 2016 exhibitors the opportunity to take part in a unique program designed to generate more traffic to participating vendors during convention tradeshow hours. Registration is limited to 22 vendors. How it works: Passport Prize cards listing the names and booth numbers of participating vendors will be distributed to convention delegates during registration. NOTE: Only registered convention delegates – mayors, councilmembers, municipal clerks and personnel – are eligible to participate in this prize program. (Spouses and guests are not eligible).

Participating vendors will receive a customized stamp for use on Passport Prize cards. Once the vendor has determined that the delegate has spent sufficient time speaking with him/her, the vendor will stamp the area on the delegate’s card that correlates with the vendor’s name and booth number.

Participating vendors will be listed in printed convention material and there will be a designated area in the Expo Hall for delegates to submit their stamped tickets for prize drawings. ALM staff will verify the eligibility of each submission. If the information is not complete, the card will not be accepted or entered into the drawing. Prizes will be drawn on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, during the Closing General Session. Delegates must be present to win.
