PBEO JOB FAIRCurrently in its 20th year of existence, the PBEO Job Fair gives individuals seeking employment inthe baseball industry the opportunity to meet face to face with club executives and interview on site for a variety of available positions. The process is simple and streamlined. Job fair attendees can search jobsranging from internships to full-time positions, then apply, interview and receive offers all while at the Baseball Winter Meetings. With December marking the height of the baseball hiring season, an average of 400-500 jobs are posted each year for between 450-550 job seekers. Most clubs are hiring for positions beginning in January 2014, with Short Season-ATM clubs hiring for later in the year. For a list of Short Season-A clubs, visit the classification page on www.MiLB.com. For more information on PBEO and the Job Fair, visit www.PBEO.com.

BOB FREITAS BUSINESS SEMINAR & WORKSHOP SERIESA staple of the Baseball Winter Meetings for more than two decades, the Bob Freitas Business Seminar continues its tradition of delivering insightful speakers and attention-grabbing topics to attendees. Morning breakout sessions, featuring presenters from the baseball world and beyond, provide valuable insight into the sports industry and its practices. Current Freitas categories include Sales & Marketing, Covering Your Bases, Grand Slam Operations, Licensing & Merchandise and Community & Media Relations. Organizations can benefit from the information offered by a diverse list of presenters.

This year, the Monday afternoon roundtable setup, which has typically taken place in a large ballroom-type setting, is being replaced with a number of smaller rooms for improved communication. The new model, called the Bob Freitas Workshop Series, will allow for closer interaction among attendees in a quieter, smaller location. Featuring a room for each track (as in the mornings), a moderator will present a topic and then allow those in attendance to share their experiences

and ideas on it with the group. Two sessions will be held simultaneously in each room.

Part of this updated programming includes providing additional learning experiences during the morning and afternoon on the trade show floor on Tuesday and Wednesday. Two informal workshop locations will feature speakers and discussions, giving attendees the freedom to stop in for a few minutes, while walking the trade show floor, or stay for the entire 30-minute session. The new format will allow participants to experience more speakers than ever before, hear a wider variety of relevant topics and have further opportunities to exchange and share ideas with their colleagues.

AWARDS LUNCHEONSponsored by Musco Sports Lighting, the Awards Luncheon recognizes some of the top individuals and clubs within the game of baseball. Highlights of the event include opening remarks from Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O’Conner, followed by award presentations for the Joe Bauman Trophy, Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year, Bowie Kuhn Award, Sports Turf Managers of the Year, Scouts of the Year, Baseball America Organization of the Year and Bob Freitas Awards. The Awards Luncheon is attended by more than 1,000 individuals each year as a way for attendees from both Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball to honor their peers and colleagues.

OPENING NIGHT AT THE BASEBALL TRADE SHOWKnown as the “kick-off” of the Baseball Trade Show, Opening Night gives exhibitors and attendees their first opportunity to networksocialize on the trade show floor. With more than 250 companies exhibiting their products and services, the Baseball Trade Show is the ideal setting to make purchases for equipment, player apparel, retail merchandise, promotional items and services or to simply check out the latest baseball products available on the market. For more information, visit www.BaseballTradeShow.com.

GALASponsored by New Era Cap, Essensa, Rawlings and K&K Insurance, the Gala’s laid-back atmosphere and casual social setting offers Baseball Winter Meetings attendees, Baseball Trade Show exhibitors and job seekers a chance to network and socialize beyond the week’s scheduled meetings. Taking place in the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort’s pool and cabana areas, this year’s Gala will provide an evening full of great food, cocktails and mingling among your peers and colleagues.

BANQUETSponsored by Major League Baseball and New Era Cap, this annual event recognizes some of the most prestigious awards in the baseball industry, including the King of Baseball, the John H. Johnson President’s Award, the Larry MacPhail Promotional Award, the Warren Giles Award, the Sheldon “Chief” Bender Award

and the Mike Coolbaugh Award. An addition to this year’s list of awards is the newly-created John Henry Moss Community Service Award, which recognizes a club that has demonstrated an outstanding, ongoing commitment to charitable service and has exhibited support and leadership within its local community and the baseball industry.

This year’s Banquet entertainment will be comedian Tom Cotter. Tom Cotter has taken the comedy scene by storm since finishing in second place on “America’s Got Talent” in 2012. Tom was the first comedian ever to be a finalist on the show and was the highest finishing human being on the show that year.

ABOUT FLORIDAOn March 3, 1845, Florida became the 27th state of the United States. Nicknamed “The Sunshine State” due to its favorable climate, Florida is home to more than 19 million residents, making it the third largest state in population. The state’s history is extensive, with its “founding” dating back to 1513 when Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León first spotted what today is Florida. Disney selected Orlando over several other sites for an updated version of its Disneyland® Park in California. In 1971, the Magic Kingdom® Park, the first component of the resort, opened and became Florida’s best known attraction. The Orlando area became an international resort and convention destination with a wide variety of themed parks, including Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and Wet ‘n Wild. For Disney and discount tickets, visit www.mydisneymeetings.com/mileba13.

ATTIREBusiness casual attire is appropriate for the Baseball Winter Meetings and the Baseball Trade Show. Business attire is suggested for job seekers attending

the PBEO Job Fair, especially for interviews. A presentable and professional appearance is recommended at all times. Refer to individual event tickets for specific attire recommendations.

WEATHERFor average December temperatures in the greater Orlando area, please refer to your favorite weather forecast and plan accordingly. In past years, the average temperatures this time of year has been a high of 73 F and a low of 53 F.

LOCATIONWalt Disney World Swan and Dolphin ResortAtlantic & Pacific Halls

SCHEDULEMONDAY, DECEMBER 9Opening Night at the Baseball Trade Show 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1010:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1110:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

The Baseball Trade Show is attended by nearly every attendee of the Baseball Winter Meetings. From owners and general managers to stadium operations personnel and buyers, representatives from all across Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball will be in attendance. This annual gathering gives you the opportunity to make purchases for equipment, player apparel, retail merchandise, promotional items and services at the show or just check out the latest baseball products available on the market.

Spanning three days, the Baseball Trade Show is a catalyst for attendees and exhibitors to interact with one another and achieve valuable face-to-face time. More than 250 exhibitors will utilize approximately 100,000 square feet of exhibitor space in the Atlantic and Pacific Halls at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort during the week.

Exhibiting companies include manufacturers and distributors of apparel, caps, gift items, souvenirs, promotional products, stadium equipment, food and beverage products, player equipment and on-field suppliers and service companies, including insurance, architecture, concessions, printing, marketing, internet, entertainment and many more. The Baseball Trade Show offers a unique one-stop shopping experience for attendees in a simple, convenient forum.

While on-site, make sure to grab a complimentary Buyer’s Guide Directory to help you navigate way through the exhibits on the trade show floor. The Social Media Lounge serves as a meeting place to check emails, conduct business and network with other attendees, as well as complete an attendee survey to receive a free gift.

For complete information on the Baseball Trade Show, including a list of exhibitors and accompanying booth numbers, visit www.BaseballTradeShow.com. The Baseball Trade Show can be reached via email [email protected] or call (866) 926-6452.

With December marking the height of the baseball hiring season, this is a great way for clubs to get a jump start on the season by filling their staffing needs. Approximately 400-500 jobs are posted each year for between 450-550 job seekers. Don’t miss out on the chance to find your next employee from a pool of national candidates.

Baseball Winter Meetings General Attendance PolicyThe Baseball Winter Meetings are not open to the general public. In order to attend, you must be (i) a member of The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues Inc., d/b/a Minor League Baseball™, or Major League Baseball, (ii) a Baseball Trade Show Exhibitor, (iii) a PBEO® Job Fair Attendee, or (iv) an Approved Non-Member. Non-Member applications must be approved prior to registration and will be considered on a case-by-case basis, in Minor League Baseball’s sole discretion.

Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball clubs and leagues may only register, purchase additional tickets or name badges, and request housing for individuals who are employed by their organization.

Any company that is in the business of selling a product or service to any Minor League Baseball or Major League Baseball club or league can only attend the Baseball Winter Meetings as a Baseball Trade Show Exhibitor.

Any professional or amateur sports league, club, or organization must go through the Non-Member approval process as mentioned above and will be considered on a case-by-case basis, at Minor League Baseball’s sole discretion.

Minor League Baseball, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse admittance to any person or entity for any lawful reason. A member that has previously purchased a “Name Badge Only” registration may purchase an upgrade to a full registration package that includes tickets to all events by paying the on-site registration fee.

Non-transferable Convention Name BadgesA convention name badge serves as a license for admission to the Baseball Winter Meetings and Baseball Trade Show. Convention name badges are required to gain entry into the Baseball Trade Show. Convention name badges are non-transferable. Convention name badges must be worn at all times and must be presented upon request. Tickets are required to attend special events and are not transferable. Minor League Baseball reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate an Attendee’s license at any time and require the Attendee to leave the premises. Anyone so removed from the convention will not receive any refund of fees previously paid. Re-entry to the convention will not be allowed. In addition, Minor League Baseball reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate an Attendee’s license at any time and require Attendee to leave the premises if an Attendee presents a name badge that does not belong to him or her or cannot produce required identification. Sharing name badges is strictly prohibited.

Children’s Attendance PolicyChildren ages four (4) and older must have a ticket and convention name badge to gain entry to the Baseball Trade Show and Baseball Winter Meetings special events. Costs for children ages four and older are the same as for adults.

Registration & Room Reservation PolicyA person must be fully registered to attend the Baseball Winter Meetings in order to reserve housing through the Baseball Winter Meetings Office. A deposit equivalent to one night’s stay per room reserved is required to process the housing form.

Lost/Replacement PolicyIf you lose or leave your registration materials at home, a replacement name badge can be purchased on-site at the Baseball Winter Meetings registration counter. If you lose special event tickets or a full passport, the charge for a replacement is the face value of the individual ticket or full passport. Upon your return home, a refund will be issued if you return all materials intact to our offices within 14 days after the last day of the event.

Use Of Likeness Attendee irrevocably consents to NAPBL and Organizer, and their employees, agents, and personnel, using the likenesses of Attendee and Attendee’s employees, agents, personnel, invitees, and guests for purposes including, without limitation, the operation of the Baseball Winter Meetings and Baseball Trade Show, publicity, marketing, and promotion of the Baseball Winter Meetings and Baseball Trade Show and other programs. Attendee understands and agrees that the likenesses may be copied and distributed by various methods, including, without limitation, photography, video, television, websites, social media, brochures, email advertisements, magazines, and newspapers. Attendees and Exhibitor understand that, although NAPBL and Organizer will endeavor in good faith to use the likenesses in accordance with standards of good judgment, NAPBL and Organizer cannot warranty or guarantee that any further dissemination of the likenesses will be subject to NAPBL and Organizer’s control. Accordingly, Attendee, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all of its employees, agents, personnel, invitees, and guests, releases NAPBL and Organizer from any and all claims and liability related to the likenesses or the dissemination thereof.

Use of Email AddressEmail addresses of registrants are shared with Baseball Winter Meetings Sponsors so that sponsors can provide information about industry products and reviews. In addition, if you reserve housing through the Minor League Baseball Office, your email address will be given to your assigned hotel in order for them to send registrants confirmation numbers.

Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts) and $5 per night from the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort.
