&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;The event starts with a Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening and officially kicks off on Thursday. On Thursday and Friday, we will host a variety of educational tracks, informative speakers, industry experts, regional groups, and constant opportunities for networking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;To ensure attendees have dedicated time to visit your booth, the conference schedule includes a designated block of time reserved for the Trade Show, with no overlapping or competing events.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;We invite you and your company to participate as an Industry Exhibitor. We are planning a vibrant and interactive group of attendees and presenters at this year’s event. Participating in the conference and promoting your business throughout the event brings you closer to the farmers, roasters, industry leaders, and stakeholders.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Each exhibitor will have use of a 30”x8’ table and two chairs and will be set up in approximately a 10' x 10’ space.&amp;nbsp; There is a single phase 110v outlet located at each table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Interior conference room exhibitor space is limited to 14 Exhibitors and outside the conference room (hallway areas) will be set for an additional&amp;nbsp;6.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Early bird registration is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Following up on the success of this event at last year’s conference - the People’s Choice Cup is returning! We will again be shaking things up during the conference Coffee Breaks! We will be spotlighting exceptional coffees from across the Hawaiian Islands, brewed with filtered water and professional café equipment to bring out their best.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Each of the four daily coffee breaks—breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, and afternoon will feature a head-to-head pairing of coffees submitted by our incredible coffee community.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Attendees will sample these pairings throughout the day, then cast a single vote for their overall favorite. The most-voted coffee will take home the People’s Choice Cup, to be presented on Friday just prior to the Best of Hawai'i announcements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Mahalo for the generous sponsorship by&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Monarch Coffee -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;the usual $175 entry fee is completely waived. &lt;strong&gt;It’s free to enter!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
