The Expo is a tabletop exhibit combined with the evening reception. Each exhibit space consists of a 6’ x 30” draped
table with two chairs and a 5 ½” x 17” table tent sign with your company name. Due to ballroom space limitations,
all freestanding exhibit displays, signs or banners must be no wider than 6 feet. Pop-up exhibits are only permitted
if they are 6 feet wide or less. You must purchase an additional exhibit space if your exhibit is wider than 6 feet.
