Lignite Energy Council members are able to exhibit in a reserved area at the Energy Progress & Innovation Conference (EPIC) – formerly known as the EGC.
The conference will be held January 24-26, 2023 at the Bismarck Event Center in Bismarck, ND.
As a Lignite Energy Council member, you are being offered an unprecedented exhibiting opportunity.
**please contact Retha Mattern with questions regarding registering with the LEC area**
The Lignite Energy Council presents LEC @ EPIC – a Lignite Energy Council members-only benefit. For the same cost ($900) of an EPIC exhibitor booth, you can register to exhibit in the Lignite Energy Council’s exhibitor area. Members are not required to exhibit in the members-only area; it is just an option for members.
As you may know, the Lignite Energy Council has expanded its relationship with the Energy Progress and Innovation Conference (EPIC) – formerly known as the EGC. The Lignite Energy Council is actively taking a larger role in the conference in lieu, in part, of discontinuing holding a spring LEC membership meeting. As such, the Lignite Energy Council will be hosting one major membership meeting each year for the foreseeable future and that will be the Annual Meeting in the fall of each year. We feel that this change in operating procedure has many benefits; however, it should not indicate any lapse in contact with our members or opportunities to provide networking between vendors and the facilities they serve.
Which brings us to LEC@EPIC:
LEC@EPIC is a new opportunity for Lignite Energy Council members to exhibit and network at EPIC. Lignite Council members can now grouped together in designated area to promote not only their business offerings, but also demonstrate collective support of North Dakota’s coal industry – a one-stop shop for your targeted customers.
Exhibiting in the Lignite Energy Council’s reserved section at EPIC will bring a few additional benefits to exhibiting at EPIC including:
- Expanded exhibitor display options – not limited to “box” exhibitor layout w/ table and pipe & drape
- Easily located by targeted industry personnel
- Meeting/lounge area for conducting business or having discussions
- Additional promotion during the Exhibitor Social on Tuesday night
- Knowing you are surrounded by like-minded and focused organizations that are dedicated to supporting the North Dakota lignite industry
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW WHEN REGISTERING:
- You can register for UP TO FOUR exhibitor spaces on the website
- Each Exhibitor “attendee” receives two complimentary attendees – additional attendees can be purchased
- You must have an email registered with the LEC’s members only website to register for the booths
- LEC exhibitor booths are LIMITED – when we have reached the max number, we will start a waiting list by emailing your request to rethamattern@lignite.com
To register to exhibit in the Lignite Energy Council’s Power Point at EPIC you will need to register with the Lignite Energy Council at https://cvent.me/l5xQ4B or by contacting Retha Mattern at the Lignite Energy Council.
We will adhere to all protocols set out by the EPIC committee and the Bismarck Event Center.
Just as it would with an exhibitor booth registration for EPIC, each exhibitor booth registration for LEC@EPIC will include two complimentary attendees for the conference. Additional attendees can be purchased during the LEC@EPIC registration process or added online at https://cvent.me/naK8QX. Additional registrations can also be made through EPIC at https://ndepic.com/register/
LEC@EPIC is only available to members of the Lignite Energy Council. If your organization typically exhibits with suppliers or vendors that are non-members, those companies would need to be members of the Lignite Energy Council or they will be ineligible to be included in the member’s only exhibit area. We will make all attempts possible to accommodate any special requests for locations/configurations/options within the reserved area.
