Midwest LRIG 2023 Spring Conference Exhibitor Information
Thank you for registering as a vendor for the Midwest LRIG 2023 Spring Conference: Frontiers of Life Science Research & Automation at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research at 1000 E 50th Street, Kansas City, MO on April 20th. We have an impressive speaker lineup that will help draw attendance with breaks for the attendees to walk the Technology Exhibition.
Due to capacity limitations, we are limiting the number of Exhibitors that can attend and we ask for your understanding. Please be mindful of your current level of sponsorship for vendor attendance purposes. The limitations on Exhibitors will allow more attendees to be present for the conference.
A block of hotel rooms has been reserved at the Marriott Kansas City Country Club Plaza at 4600 Mill Creek Parkway, KCMO. A bus service will run from the hotel to the venue before and after the conference.
Your contacts for the event to help with any questions are Brooke Johnson as the Technology Exhibition Director and Clint Davis, our Technology Exhibition Deputy. Inquiries from vendors should be directed to midwestlrig@gmail.com, and Brooke and Clint will respond accordingly. Please allow 24-48 hours for response.
