If your staff requires extra ribbons, their names need to be indicated on the application form at the time your application is submitted.

Your exhibitor sign will display your company name, city/state of business, and your booth number. You will have chairs inside and outside your booth. You have an electrical outlet to plug in computers, lamps, credit card machines, etc. Extra extension cords, display cases, and lamps are available. We provide a few snacks in the dealer bags given to you upon entry, and table covers.
