CME: Your Gateway to Increased Sales

CME 2013 brings thousands of marine buyers and sellers together in a unique, business-to-business environment in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic commercial marine industries. It's an opportunity to showcase your company's products and technology before this audience of hard-to-reach professionals. Over two full days, you will meet with active buyers who are looking for the equipment, gear, and services your company sells.

CME 2013 is the entire industry, gathered under one roof.

At CME, buyers compare, price and purchase the latest equipment and gear. They attend expecting to see technical experts in search of solutions to the challenges they face, and the newest technology and innovations. For many, CME is the only show they attend to see and purchase what's new in the industry — it's their most efficient, one-stop purchasing source.

WARNING! Beware of FAIRGuide

A fraudulent organization called FAIRGuide is targeting exhibitors. If you have participated in any of the industry's commercial marine expos, you are likely to be targeted. Under no circumstances should you sign anything indicating you will become part of an "exhibition directory" that will list your company's products and services, if the letter is sent to you by FAIRGuide or CONSTRUCT DATA VERLAG of Vienna, Austria. This company is not connected to this show in any way. It is not necessary nor is it advisable that you fill out the FAIRGuide form to participate in Commercial Marine Expo.

In the fine print of this letter you will find a charge of around USD $1800 that will be invoiced to you annually for a period of three years, for a service that is of no possible value to you.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
