Every year our manufacturers dig deep and donate valuable products to our amazing SCAE giveaway!  The list you see below includes donations pledged from all participating manufacturers, whether they are attending SCAE this year or not (exhibitor names are linked to their SCAE page).

OPT will be hosting several drawings for SCAE, including those taking place on Saturday the 13th at the event (must be present to win) and the Online Giveaway, which gives anyone who signs up a chance to win a great prize.  OPT will decide which items will be in each drawing; items with a red asterisk (*) are part of the Online Giveaway.
