Large
displays are anything
on your table, regardless of size, that makes it necessary for the exhibitor
to stand in front of the table These types of displays are welcome...but
MUST be noted on your registration form! Because a 'science fair type' display
and/or someone standing in front of the table blocks the view of other exhibitors
these set-ups will be placed around the edges of the room to make it easier
to view.
ANYONE BRINGING A LARGE DISPLAY WITHOUT PRE-REGISTERING IT
MAY NOT
BE ALLOWED TO USE IT! ...please plan accordingly.
Exhibitors standing in front of their table will be asked to move.

How big is my space? |
Each
exhibiting company receives a 6 foot by 2 1/2 foot table, covered with a white table cover. There is no area behind the
table other than for seating. |
I have lots
of stuff to bring...where can I put it besides on the table? |
Nowhere. Per National
IFT regulations all materials must be on top of the table provided. This
means no floor displays of any kind! |
What about my big table-top
display? |
We're happy to have
it...but you MUST indicate that you
are bringing it on your registration form! We put large displays (see definition
above) along the edges of the room in order to maximize the visibility.
This way everyone can see if a special customer is heading their way! |
I handle two companies...how
can they both best be represented? |
Split
tables are available for brokers and affiliated companies that need a smaller
physical space. Each exhibitor
receives half a table, 6 category listings, directory
listing and all the publicity given to other exhibitors under
their own name!
Remember...
a. No more than 2 companies can split a table.
b. You must order both halves of the table...we can't sell half tables for
you! |
I'm
a broker/distributor and want my name
in the show material! |
No problem.
Brokers may order tables and place materials from more than one principal
on the tables but all signage and directory listings
will be under the brokerage name only.
Many exhibitors combine a main table with split tables in the same area. |
This is my one
chance each year to chat with my golfing buddy. Can you put our tables together? |
Sure.
Every effort will be made to place affiliated companies and friends together.
However, BOTH companies must request
this (in case they're not as anxious to see you as you are to see them!) |
Why do I have to
pay for a sign again? |
Okay...
Matching
signs are required for all exhibitors by National IFT regulations.
Here's how the program works...
a)
First time exhibitors and those who did not exhibit in the past year are required to order a table sign.
b) The signs are designed to be left at the show for future use. We'll store them and bring them back the next year. (That
way we won't need to charge you for a new one.)
c) Changed your company name? A new sign must also be ordered by you since
a new sign has to be ordered by us! |
I know the
show hours are from 3 PM to 6 PM...but how long do I REALLY have to be there? |
.ALL
EXHIBITORS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE DURING SHOW HOURS! Some
attendees are only able to arrive later in the afternoon; some can only
stay for the first hour. Arriving late (or packing up early) sends them
the message that you aren't interested in seeing them...and you could possibly
miss an important contact! |
How do I get my
stuff to (and from) the Cobb Galleria? |
Displays and other
show materials can be shipped to arrive at
the Cobb Galleia but there is a charge! To avoid fees for small packages we suggest you ship to your hotel. (The Hyatt Place will accept small packages with no fee and will provide courtesy transportation to the Cobb Galleria)
The Cobb Galleria Centre provides shipping and receiving within 72 hours of non-exhibit events that are not affiliated with service contractors.
