The welcome reception has been held in the Lakes Ballroom in the past. For 2024, we plan to make use of the entire conference area where attendees learn the layout and mingle. Expect lots of foot traffic Sunday starting at 5pm.
The Expo Area is right in the midst of our event space so there are not designated expo hours - it is suggested you staff your area from 8am - 5:30pm each day. It's highly recommended that your booth be setup before the welcome reception Sunday at 5 so that you can meet attendees passing by.
Your space is approximately 8 feet x 8 feet (Corners are 8x10)
You will have a 7-foot table and two chairs at your area.
You can start setting your booth up on Sunday at noon. It's highly recommended that your booth be setup before the welcome reception Sunday at 5 so that you can meet attendees passing by.
If you miss that, you can start setting up Monday as early as 5am. Conference sessions begin on Monday at 7am.
Our last session ends around 7pm on Thursday. Your booth must be taken down by Thursday at 11pm. Please be considerate while the conference is underway.
