Product Theater Sponsorship Opportunities

MNPA is committed to creating a mutually beneficial product theater experience for both attendees and industry partners. Beginning this year, MNPA will offer a limited number of product theater opportunities. Three opportunities for dinner product theaters will be available on each Wednesday and Thursday evenings, as detailed below.  Attendees will have the ability to pre-register for product theaters as part of the conference registration process. Attendance at the product theater is not considered part of the conference agenda and attendees will attend as individuals, not representatives of MNPA, their employer or outside agencies.

MNPA Industry Non-CE Disclaimer Statement
The opportunity to attend any industry non-CE event is available only to registered MNPA conference attendees.  All product theater hosts must also be registered exhibitors at the conference.  The product theater event and its program information at this MNPA conference do not constitute an endorsement by MNPA. MNPA has not reviewed the product theater content or slides, as this is a non-CE event.   Please note that MNPA will no longer promote outside product theaters.

Cancellation Policy

If your event has less than 10 pre-registered guests (5 for Ebbtide) at two weeks prior to the event (April 1, 2026), you can choose to cancel your dinner without penalty.  After two weeks (April 1, 2026), the venue and MNPA are unable to offer refunds. All product theater registrants must also register for a vendor table. Cancelling the product theater does not cancel the vendor/exhibitor table. The vendor tables are non-refundable.  By registering you accept the conditions of our cancellation policy.
