ASB offers exhibitors participating in past BakingTech conferences the opportunity to be assigned the same table top as they've had in previous years.  To take advantage of this opportunity, ASB must receive full payment by Friday, December 13, 2013.

Should a returning exhibiting company not submit an exhibitor/partner application by December 13, their previous table top assignment will be forfeited and will not be guaranteed for MarketPlace 2014. 

Are you a baking industry consultant?  Would you like to have your services promoted to the ASB membership and greater baking industry?  If so, visit the Consultant's Corner on ASB's website and list yourself today.

By signing up for Consultant's Corner, you are targeting a very specific market for your unique and highly experienced talents.  A benefit of membership is the ability to post your listing free of additional cost and it is a great way to market to a large number of potential clients. 

• Are you a Baker and work with someone who would benefit from being involved in ASB?
• Are you an Allied member and have bakery customers you would like to see at ASB's MarketPlace 2014? 

We all know the benefits of being a member of ASB far outweigh the cost, but now is the time for new baker members to give ASB a try risk free.  We know that once they participate in the Society, visit the online resource library, attend a webinar and network with their peers, they are going to want to attend BakingTech 2014 and remain a long-term member.

Simply download the Complimentary 1st Year Membership Application, give it to your co-workers, customers and employees.

This Free Membership promotion is only being offered to employees of wholesale bakeries who have never been members of ASB. 

ASB is continuing the Partnership Program for BakingTech 2014.  This program benefits both the Allied member and the Baker members.  Allied members benefit by having an increased number of new bakers with whom to develop business relationships, while baking companies are able to send new bakers who have not previously attended BakingTech.

Allied Members- Benefits to the Allied Partner are:

• Contact information for all scholarship recipients prior to BakingTech so you can plan meetings and start networking.
• Invitations to attend the exclusive "New Baker Reception".  This reception includes only the scholarship recipients, all new baker members and the ASB Board of Directors.
• Allied Partners can bring employees to the New Baker Reception; based on partnership level.
• Signage, logos and recognition is placed throughout the conference and within the conference literature.

Allied Partnership Application is attached

Baker Members
Baker members are able to nominate fellow bakers who are not ASB members and have not attended BakingTech in the past.  

The scholarship covers membership dues, conference registration, 4 nights' hotel accommodations, the ATBI breakfast and a small per diem.  The Baker is only responsible for his/her transportation.

Scholarship Application is attached

Last year, Allied Members contributed enough funding for 16 new Baker members to attend BakingTech for the first time.  We hope that you will decide to support this program by becoming a Partner or nominating a baker for a scholarship.
