Once again, we will be giving away door prizes in the vendor exhibition area during each break.

Although the exhibition hours have been extended to 7:00 PM, it is not necessary that you remain in the vendor room until that time - it will be your option to do so.

Any additional requirements at your booth (phones, electrical needs, etc.) will be handled by the following companies & contacts:
