Following the event, you will receive a complete list of potential partners who have expressed interest in your company, as well as all trade leads that we will collect from end-users who visit our office and to whom we send your company's literature. After you have reviewed these leads, we will work with you to capitalize on these contacts.

Registration is open until July 14, 2006, but receiving your response as soon as possible will help us conduct advance promotion on your behalf to our contacts.
