HOW IT WORKS
After picking up your passport during the program launch meeting, you can think of yourself as an "Explorer" in the world of SMT. Your goal is to collect stamps from "Champions" in designated booths on the show floor. You can introduce yourself, learn about the specific technology or process, ask questions, and exchange business cards.
​
You can visit Champions at your convenience during open show hours. Collect as many stamps as you can by 11:00am on Thursday for your chance to win a prize.
​
This event is hosted by the SMTA Student and Young Professionals committee and is open to all attendees.
