Sustaining Industry Partner Lightning Rounds

Lightning Round Details

- Each company will be assigned a round table which will have seats surrounding it for attendees and the company host.
- There will be 16 rounds of 7-minute sessions. Reps will make a presentation, have a discussion, or get feedback from attendees about your latest products, innovations, services, etc. When notified, attendees will have two minutes to rotate to the next company table.
- During each session, Reps can give handouts, individually-wrapped samples, or logoed items.
- There is NO cooking/heating, prepping, or portioning of food permitted at the venue. There's not a staging or storage area at the venue.

Company Selection Process

- To make the selection process fair, a random computerized drawing will be conducted to select the 16 participating companies. Only active SIP members will be included in the lottery.
- Companies that participated in the Lightning Rounds in 2018 or 2019 will be removed from the drawing and not eligible to have a spot for 2021.
- The companies selected for the canceled 2020 Lightning Rounds will be given the first right of refusal to participate in 2021.
- Each selected company will have the opportunity to confirm or decline their participation.
- If declined or no response is received, the spot is forfeited and the next company in line will be contacted.
