August 30-31
Monroeville Convention Center
Monroeville, PA

Exhibitors: Move-in is 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, August 29. If you are an outdoor exhibitor with questions about your scheduled move-in time, contact Steve Rutz of Hale Northeastern at 716-818-0160 (cell). You will pick up your exhibit staff name badges when you check in on Monday.

We invite you to take part as an exhibitor at PIOGA's 2011 Eastern Oil & Gas Conference and Trade Show, in the heart of the region's exciting Marcellus Shale play. Due to demand, we have added 70 more indoor exhibit spaces to this year's show. That brings the total to 413 indoor and outdoor spaces.

 The Monroeville Convention Center opened in late 2009 and has more than 100,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space. It sits next to a recently renovated, 191-room Doubletree hotel and is part of a mall complex with 1,800 free parking spaces. There’s plenty of lodging nearby, with several group hotels served by free shuttle service to the convention center. Monroeville is on the east side of Pittsburgh, with easy access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and is about a half-hour drive from the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport.

 Monroeville is conveniently located for much of Pennsylvania’s oil and gas industry and related businesses. It’s also an easy drive for those working in Ohio, West Virginia and New York. Our 2010 event attracted over 400 conference participants (who have full show access) and just under 1,500 show-only attendees, along with more than 800 exhibit staff. The event has grown every year since it was launched in 2008, and we expect that to continue for 2011.

ATTENTION: AS OF JULY 15, ALL EXHIBIT SPACE IS RESERVED. If you would like to be placed on the waiting list for space, e-mail Matt Benson. Please state your preference for indoor or outdoor space.

• PIOGA members, $1,000 per 10'x10' indoor space or 20'x20' outdoor space. Your company must be a paid PIOGA member at the time you reserve your space. If you are not listed in our online Service Directory, your company probably is not currently a member.

Exhibit staff passes:

• You receive two exhibit staff passes per space. This does not include the person who is listed as the contact for your exhibit registration, unless that person is entered as an exhibit staff person during the registration process. These passes provide full access to the show and all conference activities. If you have alredy reserved more than two spaces, you may update your registration to add your full number of exhibit staff. To do this, refer to your confirmation e-mail, or contact Matt Benson, matt@pioga.org.
• Additional staff may be registered for the conference at $250 per person for PIOGA members or $400 for nonmembers. This is a discount of $100 off the cost of our conference registration and includes full access to the show and conference. Click here to register by August 22.
• We also will provide each exhibitor with a minimum of 10 complimentary show passes. Although these are intended for you to give to customers, some exhibitors use these tickets to bring additional staff into the show. Used this way, extra staff do not receive a name badge or have access to any conference programming of complimentary food/beverage service.
