Are there guidelines for appropriate booth display?

All exhibitors should consider the following guidelines when setting up their booth:

• Make your booth stand out. An eye-catching booth attracts more traffic.
• Have a way to collect names. The Conference does not supply attendee contact lists.
• Giveaways always attract more traffic.
• Do not block the aisles or neighboring exhibitors.
• No signage is allowed on convention walls.
• No flashing lights, helium balloons, glass containers, P/A systems or music boxes, glitter or confetti are allowed. 
  
  

Will there be internet access?

Yes, the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts will provide guest WIFI to exhibitors.

Will the booth be equipped with electricity?

No.

Will exhibitors be published on your conference website?

Yes, confirmed exhibitors and sponsors are posted on the Conference website with links back to their website.

Should an exhibitor provide a door prize?

This is entirely up to you. Everyone knows the giveaways and door prizes attract attendees to your booth and this is a very easy way to collect business cards and contact information. During the last break of the conference, the Conference Committee will announce the winner of the drawing hosted by the conference, at this time you can draw from your container and we will announce the winners of your prize. Door prizes can be items from your company, a gift card to a restaurant or event, or a MasterCard/Visa/ Amex gift card.

Is the gourmet boxed lunch included with the exhibitor's fee? How many lunch tickets are included?

Yes, exhibitors are invited to join us for lunch: two tickets are included with each registration. Sponsors are allotted up to ten tickets depending upon the sponsor level.

What time should exhibitors break down their booths?

The conference ends at 4:05 p.m. Door prize drawings will take place during the last break at 2:45 p.m. Please do not break down your exhibit until after 4:05 p.m.
