During this event approximately 300 handlers, trainers and supervisors of canine teams from around the world benefited from your involvement. These attendees came from agencies with only 1 canine team all the way to agencies with 50 or more canine teams. H.I.T.S. 2007 provided their attendee’s access to experts in the fields of drug, bomb and patrol canine training. Many attendees valued the opportunity to learn from the top trainers in the country so much that they paid their own way to the seminar.

Our feedback forms provided us with valuable information about what the attendees liked and disliked about H.I.T.S. 2007. This has provided great insight into the planning of H.I.T.S. 2008.

Here is some of the information we gained from our attendees.

96.9 % of the attendees felt this event was Useful to Very Useful for themselves and their agency.

99% of the attendees stated that they would attend H.I.T.S. 2008.

There is no other police canine event that offers the direct exposure of your company to such a large of a group of police canine handlers, trainers and supervisors. There are no wasted advertising dollars when you invest in H.I.T.S. and Police K-9 Magazine.

H.I.T.S. 2007 provided you the opportunity to speak with 300 canine handlers, trainers and supervisors from around the world. Your support for this event does not go un-noticed by our attendees. Each attendee was provided with a color event guide, the guide lists all classes offered, a bio of each instructor as well as your logo, company name and/or advertisement.

Our networking reception was a great success. Over 80% of the attendees participated in the networking reception. This 2 hour event provided you the opportunity to meet the handlers, trainers and supervisors who utilize your products each and every day.

Your goodwill during our networking reception made the event an even greater success. H.I.T.S. 2007 was able to give away over 5000.00 dollars worth of police canine products.

“Great concept, great amount of training in a short amount of time, great networking and great opportunity for simple questions and answers.”

“Networking was great for a 1 st time seminar I believe that it will be better next time.”

On behalf of police canine officers everywhere Police K-9 Magazine wishes to thank you for your support of H.I.T.S. 2007. Your support, your generosity, and your participation in not only the finest Police K-9 Training conferences in America, but the lives of those who serve on the front lines in every city across our great Nation. Your products and services make our jobs safer, easier and professional.

We hope that our professional staff members made each one of you feel at home at our conference. I look forward to seeing each of you again at the 2008 H.I.T.S. seminar in Denver, Colorado May 28 – 31, 2008.

H.I.T.S. 2008 will provide all of the advertising impact of H.I.T.S. 2007 and be even bigger and better. In addition to professional booths prominently placed directly outside of the seminar rooms and the Networking sponsorship opportunity, H.I.T.S. 2008 will offer a Demo Day on Saturday, May 31, 2008. Any vendors interested in demonstrating their products will have the opportunity to do so in front of 400 attendees. You are able to Demo any police canine equipment, training classes, including canines.

Think back to the last time you had 400 customers come to your business to meet you and watch your products in action. Think of the impact you can make when demonstrating your canine training products, your canine, your training techniques and classes, and the customers are able to see the quality of your work and how it will benefit them. This opportunity is not offered by any other canine event in the world. H.I.T.S. 08 provides you a complete marketing package to maximize the impact on your target market.

Again, we thank you for your support.
