Exhibitor - FAQ

Exhibitors are welcome to attend all conference events, receptions, sessions, and workshops. We do ask that you be sure your booth is staffed while the exhibit halls are open.

Some events do require purchasing a ticket prior to conference.

Each booth includes the following:

• Two registrations (Monday and Tuesday lunches, breaks, access to conference events, sessions, workshops)
• Up to three additional booth staff badges may be purchased for $100 each (excludes Main Street booths).
• Meals for additional booth staff can be purchased if needed. 

• Each booth includes a draped table (30" wide x 30" high x 6' long), two chairs, trash can, and a 500 watt outlet. Does NOT include internet access.
• Some events are ticketed and tickets can be purchased online prior to May 31.
• Booth spaces in Hall AB are 10' x 10', booth spaces in the Dockside hall are 8' x 10' and 10' x 10'.
• Booth displays in booths 616 - 630 may exceed the 8 foot display height restriction provided the display does not block or hide the view of other booths.

For their safety, we strongly suggest that children are not brought into the exhibit halls during set-up and breakdown.

Children are only allowed in the exhibit halls on Tuesday, June 12 between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. and must be accompanied by a registered adult at all times.
