We will open lunch and breakfast 30 minutes early so that you can eat before the hall opens.

Important Reminders:

  • If you have not notified us of who your Exhibitor Representatives will be onsite, please do so at your earliest convenience to Elizabeth Lane at [email protected].
  • If you have additional representatives attending with you outside of the 2 allocated per exhibiting company, please complete the Exhibitor Representative Form.

Anniversary Reception
Join us Wednesday from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM in the Exhibit Hall for the Anniversary Reception. This is a great opportunity to network with attendees and enjoy the celebration. You DO NOT have to man your exhibit booth during this time, unless you feel the need to. Attendees will be in the hall, so feel free to use this time to network with participants in a more informal setting than behind your booth;
however the choice is yours.

Raffle Tickets
In your exhibitor packet you will find an envelope with raffle tickets and an instruction sheet. Please make sure to review prior to the opening of the exhibit hall. We hope this provides attendee engagement with the vendors and to give them a chance to win a prize!

Security
Exhibit area will be locked at the close of each day for the protection of the exhibits. Unauthorized personnel will not have access to the exhibit area during non-show hours.
