How do I become an exhibitor at the Trade Show?

Once you have viewed the floorplan and determined which booth space is preferred, fill out an online registration. Once your registration is submitted, you will receive confirmation via email. A $100 deposit is required to reserve a booth. An invoice for the balance will be sent out in August, 2010.

When is the deadline to submit an application to exhibit?

There is not an official registration deadline. All space is sold on a "first come, first served" basis until it is sold out. We encourage all exhibitors to turn their registrations in as early as possible to secure the desired booth.

Am I allowed to share booth space with another company?

Only companies that have a legal agreement outside of the event are permitted to share booth space.
