MOHAVE VENDOR EXHIBITION: During the morning trade show, vendors will have the opportunity to meet with Mohave members at the Mohave Vendor Exhibition. This will be an excellent opportunity to introduce your firm and its products and services. Pertinent and informative handouts are suggested. Product demonstrations must be confined to the footprint of your exhibition space.

"MOHAVE PROCESS CHANGE" PRESENTATIONS: The afternoon educational sessions will update members and vendors on the new Mohave order process that will go into effect on January 1, 2008. At the conference, attendees will select two tracks (one for each of the two sessions) from the following presentations by Mohave staff:

Track 1 | Payment and Admin Fee Process
The process members will use to remit payments to vendors and the process that vendors will use to collect, administer, and reconcile Mohave’s admin fee will be relayed by Julia Tribbett, Director of Business Operations, and Tom Peeler, Executive Director. Members and vendors attending this track will learn how changes that will be implemented on January 1, 2008, will impact their individual accounting and auditing functions. (Location: Palo Verde Room I)

Please Note: The Admin Fee Administration and Reconciliation Process and the Payment Process for Members and Vendors tracks have been combined into the above presentation.

Track 2 | Quote and Price Posting Process
Mohave’s Contracts Team will describe the importance of vendor pricing on successful transactions. Vendors will learn pricing requirements of the new order process, updating current pricing with Mohave and methods to provide their pricing to members. (Location: Palo Verde Room II)

Track 3 | New Audit Process
The audit function and audit process changes will considerably impact both members and vendors. This track will inform members and vendors of the comprehensive audits of pricing and invoices and how those audits will be conducted. (Location: Palo Verde Room III)

Track 4 | Procurement Process
The procurement process is an initial and integral part of the order process change. This interactive track will detail the procurement process with a focus on the member’s Purchase Order submittal and its route to the vendor. (Location: Sirrine & Pomeroy Rooms)

PRIZE DRAWINGS: Exhibitors may provide prizes for the drawing conducted by Mohave, or they may conduct their own drawings at their exhibit. Please contact Bette Thompson at the ASPIN office at bette@mesc.org or (520) 888-9664 if you have products or services that you would like to enter into the main drawing to be held during the closing session.

All exhibiting vendors will be entered in a prize drawing to win their exhibit space FREE! Please Note: Drawing will be held during the closing session on October 17, 2007. Vendor representative need not be present to win. Following the Expo, the winning company will be mailed a refund check for one Mohave Expo 2007 exhibit space.
