Do you have a vacuum truck, a 20’+ trailer, or other piece of large equipment to show off on the exhibit hall floor? The Large Equipment Showcase sponsorship is for you! This stand-alone sponsorship allows you to showcase a large vehicle or other piece of industry-related equipment that would not fit in a normal vendor space. Generally, any vehicle or equipment taking up more than two (2) 10’x10’ vendor spaces is considered Large Equipment. For smaller vehicles, the regular Vendor Table sponsorship with the Small Equipment Display option selected may be a better option.

**Please refer to the Sponsorship Agreement at UDigNY.org/vendor for important requirements for vehicle safety, and delivery/removal. If you are unsure whether your equipment would be considered Large Equipment, or have any other questions, please reach out to event vendor POCs Chris Flaherty [email protected] and William Liddell [email protected].
