I promise FREE wastebaskets, NO bogus electrical charge, and NO unions, if
you will sign up as an exhibitor at the Georgia Tech Rapid Prototyping
Symposium October 9 & 10. Please see attached.
The cost of a display booth is under $900 for this two day event, and...
I'll even provide a really, really good breakfast AND lunch - both days -
at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
