  Room Show 2027

  May 3 (Set Up) 

  May 4 (Show Day) 

  Location: Delta Marriott, Roseville, Minnesota 

  Exhibit Hours: 9:00 - 2:30 pm. 

  
  

  DETAILS:

  There are 9 suppliers who will be invited to exhibit at this show. 

  • Complete the application (click "register").

  • Every supplier who applies (and is eligible - see below) will be placed on a ballot with the information provided. 

  • The ballot goes out to UMAPP's distributor email database. Distributors vote for who they wish to see at the show. The committee has the final say based on the line description, variety of products amongst exhibitors, and suppliers who have not exhibited at all or in recent years. 
     
  • We plan to have the final slate of exhibitors chosen by the end of December.  

  ________________________________________________

  Do you know how this show works?  Each exhibitor gives an EDUCATION to each distributor group about their products, case histories, ways to sell, ways to market, how to appeal to customers, and more. This is a "teaching show."

    Each exhibitor has 11 presentations - 25 minutes each - to rotating groups of distributors.

  • Cost is $1,350 and includes meeting room, access to 50+ distributor companies (120+ distributor reps) in one day, full attendee contact list after the show, plus coffee, snacks, lunch, and the reception (see below). 
    
    
  • 2:30 - 4:00 Prizes & Pours Reception. Hot and cold appetizers plus drink ticket. Mingle with show attendees! 

  Ineligible Suppliers (Exhibited in 2025 or 2026). 

  Past exhibitors must stay off the ballot for two full shows.
