SAAC Doubles Education Session Prizes, Adding Another $5,000 in Rewards

The Specialty Advertising Association of California (SAAC), the Southern California region's nonprofit association, recently announced a major addition to its prize drawings for those who attend its education events at the 2013 SAAC Show. An additional $5,000 in rewards will be given away, in the form of 25 hotel nights for those that attend both days of education, as well as the show itself.

The original prize drawings for those who attend the education events are also still being offered. Combined with the new hotel rewards, this means that more than$10,000 in prizes will be given away, including a $5,000-in-value grand prize separate from the hotel stays and several smaller prizes.

Both days of education and the SAAC show itself must be attended in order to be eligible for the grand prize. The grand prize winner will be able to choose from several different prize packages, including the following:
