Welcome to the Eighth Annual Dine In Cinema +FEC Summit!
As we approach our eighth year, we would like to update you on our policies effective August 1,2025 regarding registration.
Why are there New Policies? After every Summit, we listen to our sponsors and attendees. We listen to the positive comments, as well as, the constructive and negative criticisms. We take each comment to heart and work through the best way to implement it into our next event. As we mentioned during our very first Summit, and all years since, we do this as a service to the industry. The sponsors are the heartbeat of this event. We know this, we understand this and we appreciate their participation beyond words.
- Selecting the Correct Image Below: Kindly make sure that you select the correct image below to register. This will avoid uncomfortable conversations on both sides. Yes, we do cross reference every registration. If you are not sure what box best fits your world, email us.
- Exhibitors/Venue Owners: Due to the nature of this event, any attendee needs to be a decision maker. Although we appreciate all the workers who make a company successful, only decision makers are allowed at our event.
- VETERAN VENDORS: All vendors must be sponsors of the event. You will receive the number of full access Summit badges depending on the sponsorship level you have selected.
- NEW VENDORS: Because we understand the importance of not only our vendor sponsors making this event happen, we also understand the importance of new vendors who have not had the opportunity to attend the Summit. We will allow a first time vendor to attend without being a sponsor for one time at a rate of $895 per registration with a maximum of one registration per company. This will allow a vendor to experience and understand our event. If a vendor wishes to attend a second year, the vendor will need to commit to a sponsorship level.
- OFF SITE MEETINGS: The spirit of this event is to keep everyone together allowing sponsors and exhibitors/venues to have the ability to network with one another at all of the Summit events. When a vendor/theater “kidnaps” an exhibitor/client/vendor, the other attendees miss the opportunity to network (and boy, do we hear about it). Please conserve the spirit of this event by adhering to this request. There are plenty of opportunities to meet in the morning, during the day in location lobbies or on Thursday evening when we do not have a Summit sanctioned event.
- WALK UPS: We will not be taking walk up registrations for the event. It is not fair to our waitlist registrants when they hear that someone “got in” when they were told no.
- BADGE SCANNING: We will be scanning each badge upon arrival to each event at the door. One scan per event only.
Thank you for reading this amazing message. As always, reach out to us at contact@dineincinemasummit.com with any comments, questions, confusions or clarifications you have.
Cheers to Summit Eight!
