The Large Equipment Showcase sponsorship is for you!

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 our event contact, Chris Flaherty, [email protected].
