Join MVC—and a few hundred of our closest friends—at the happy hour in the Exhibit Hall on Friday evening.
When you sign up, you'll purchase a bundle of drink tickets. We will print your desired quantity with your logo and have them ready for you to pick up on site.
Distribute them to your booth reps, who can share their tickets with booth visitors both before and during the event.
Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!
Participants enjoy the following promotions as part of their reservation:

Please keep in mind that ticket sales will close on Jan. 23, 2024, to allow us time to print tickets and make other arrangements for the event. All reservations and modifications should be made by this date.
We understand that participation may not be within budget or company standards for all. If that is the case, please consider the following engagement ideas to entice attendees to interact with you during the Happy Hour:
Exhibit Hall concessions stands will remain open for the Happy Hour. We strongly encourage all exhibitors to consider catering options, from small snacks to displays, to not only enhance the attendee experience, but also to drive traffic to your booth.
Please note, with the exception of wrapped, bite-size candy or peppermints, all food and beverage items distributed from your booth space must be ordered through the convention center caterer. A full menu of their offerings and ordering information can be found here.
The reservation fee is only $100, and it does not include drink tickets. Beverage tickets can be purchased in bundles of 100 for $1,000, which equates to $10 per drink. If you don't think you will use that many, you can purchase a starter pack of 50 for $750, which equals out to $15 per drink.
You are welcome to make adjustments after purchase. However, be advised, you will not receive a refund if you decrease the number of tickets you order. Therefore, we recommend starting small and increasing your purchase later.

The tickets can be used during the happy hour only (Friday from 5 to 7 p.m.) at the designated bars in the Exhibit Hall. The bars will be located in the Social Space and Attendee Lounge (view floor plan) and will offer the following beverages:
You will be able to pick up your branded tickets on site. More information and instructions will be provided in the event reminder email sent the week before the MVC.
You are welcome to distribute the tickets to anyone you wish (including your own staff!), as long as they are registered for the MVC. Remember, badges are required for entry into the Exhibit Hall, so if you'd like to share with your customers who aren't attending, they will need to obtain an Exhibit Hall day pass. These can be purchased on site, either by them or by you, for $25 each.
Due to demand and logistics, please do not expect to purchase additional tickets on site. The Happy Hour bars will accept cashless payment if you wish to continue buying drinks for yourself or others on site.
This happy hour is an opportunity for all exhibitors to engage with attendees and grow relationships in a more casual setting. To ensure the best use and engagement, work with your team on how and to whom your drink tickets should be handed out (e.g., during conversations, potential sales, returning customers, etc). As you distribute your tickets, be sure recipients are aware of what the tickets are for and when they can be used.
MVC prohibits other beverage-based offers at individual booths during this time. However, you are welcome to offer food in your booth. Please see "Will there be food available?" above for catering information.
If you are no longer able to participate, please log in to the MVC registration system and modify your registration by un-selecting the event, or contact us directly.
However, please note, no refunds will be given if you cancel. If you aren't certain whether your company participate, we strongly recommend you confirm this prior to making your reservation.
