All booth assignments are currently labeled TBA, meaning To Be Announced. We will no longer be posting the exact booth numbers until check-in.

Why?
The biggest reason for this is that most cancellations occur in the final 2 weeks before the show. Causing us to move things around repeatedly behind the scenes.

When someone cancels, everyone will “MOVE UP” to fill the empty slot. Then, any wait list exhibitors will fill in at the end of the line. This is both simple and incredibly fair. Last minute additions won’t “fill in” the front spots. The earlier you were in the show, the better your spot.

Once at the show, you will receive your booth number, which will be THE BEST up-to-the-minute spot.

This is an important reminder that we have a ton of folks on wait list. If you need to cancel, you can contact us and receive a 50% refund. No-Call/No-shows will not be eligible to exhibit next year.
