All applications received after June 28 must be accompanied by full payment. No applications will be processed without full payment after this date.
Cancellation or Space Reductions
Cancellations or reduction of space between the date the application is received and May 3 will result in an administrative fee of 25 percent of total booth fees per 10’ x 10’ space. Institutes and nonprofits will pay an administrative fee equal to 10 percent of the cancelled space.

Special Circumstances
-
Sharing Space
No subletting or sharing of exhibit space is permitted. Exhibitors may not release or assign any of their contracted space to another company.
-
Mergers
In the event that an exhibiting company merges with, is acquired by, or purchases another exhibiting company, the seniority accumulated by either company (whichever is highest) will be used. Exhibit Management must be notified in writing of such changes, including public announcement of the transaction.
Co-Marketing
If two or more companies wish to be assigned exhibit space adjacent to one another, each company must submit the request under comments on the exhibit application with an explanation of why you would like to be located next to each other. Exhibit Management is not responsible for accommodating adjacent booth assignment for exhibit space applications that arrive separately or without documentation. Upon receipt of the application, the exhibit space assignment will be made by averaging the co-marketing companies’ priority points. Exhibit Management will locate adjacent space based on the best use of the exhibit floor space. Requests for specific locations may not be honored. If two or more divisions of the same company wish to exhibit together, they may exhibit under one company name. All housing, badges, and Exhibit Guide listings will be conducted in one name only. Multiple housing blocks are not permitted.
Exhibitors are provided one complimentary alphabetical listing in the Exhibit Guide. Exhibitors may purchase additional alphabetical listings in the Exhibit Guide for $860 per listing.
When two or more companies have joint rights to a product and the contract stipulates all company names must appear with the product, the Society reserves the sole right to determine how or if the name of the non-exhibiting company will appear on all exhibit related materials.
