Make connections. Discover solutions. Earn rewards.
The UIC Connected Buyer Program makes it easy for attendees and exhibitors to connect on the exhibit floor. Attendees discover companies, equipment, technologies and solutions relevant to their work, while exhibitors gain opportunities to meet potential customers and build new business relationships.
Best of all, participation is simple. For every five different exhibitors who scan your attendee badge, you’ll earn one entry into the prize drawing. Keep making connections—each additional group of five different exhibitors earns you another entry.
Complete the required number of visits and you’ll be entered for a chance to win one of three great prizes. Stay tuned — we’ll reveal the prizes as UIC gets closer!
The prize drawing takes place in the exhibit hall just before UIC concludes on Wednesday, Jan. 27. You must be present to win.
For Attendees
- Sign Up — Add the complimentary Connected Buyer Program when you register for UIC.
- Make Connections — Visit exhibitors to discover equipment, technologies and services for your underground infrastructure projects. Ask questions and discuss your needs.
Get Scanned — After your conversation, make sure the exhibitor scans your badge. That’s it, nothing for you to keep track of. No need to wonder which exhibitor is participating.
- Automatic Entry for the Drawing — Every five different exhibitors that scan your badge earns you one drawing entry. Each additional group of five different exhibitor scans earns you another entry. Repeat scans from the same exhibitor do not count toward additional entries.
Be there to Win —The prize drawing takes place Wednesday, January 27, at 4:45 p.m. in the exhibit hall.
You must be present to win!
For Exhibitors
You’re equipped. Every booth includes a lead retrieval license to scan attendee badges and capture contact information.
Start with a conversation. Introduce your equipment, technology or service and learn about the attendee’s interests before scanning their badge.
Scan their badges. Your scans capture leads and help attendees earn prize drawing entries. Every five different exhibitors who scan an attendee’s badge earns that attendee one entry.
- One scan per attendee counts. Scanning the same attendee more than once does not earn them additional prize drawing entries.
