　　Listen to the dialogue between the Company President and Head of Marketing.
　　HM: So what do you think about the invitation to speak at the conference in October?
　　P: I think it’s a great opportunity.
　　HM: I agree. It will be good for the company to have our name up alongside those of the big brands.
　　P: And people are always interested to hear about how new market entrants are getting on.
　　HM: We’ve certainly got nothing to be ashamed of on that front.
　　P: Exactly. The question is whether you want to do the speech or you think I should do it.
　　HM: Well it’s an important show-I think it would look odd if you didn’t speak yourself.
　　P: OK. And what about exhibiting?
　　We’re putting an exhibition stand together at the moment.
　　P: How much does it cost to exhibit?
　　HM: It depends which package you go for, but it won’t be cheap, around $15,000 probably.
　　P: And how much does it cost per person?
　　HM: As a speaker, you’ll get in for free. And as exhibitors, we’ll get our first four people in for free as part of the cost.
　　P: Well I wouldn’t worry about the cost too much-I think it’s important that all of our senior team is at the conference.
　　HM: Sure, it’s certainly the best place to make contacts.
　　P: That’s right, and hopefully we’ll sign some new contracts while we’re out there.
　　HM: There are always a lot of media people at the convention, too.
　　P: OK. So if it looks like we’re going sign any important deals we should draft press releases for them.
　　HM: If we have any budget left, we should maybe host a drinks party one evening as well.
　　P: OK, but don’t forget to invite any important customers whatever you do.
