Exhibit Hall Opportunities – 2017 Annual Meeting

Exhibit Hall

Update 1/12/17: The Exhibit Hall is now full for 2017!

The 2017 TWS-WS Exhibit Hall will be located in the Naples Foyer and the Sorrento Ballroom – the hub of our meeting! Exhibitors are guaranteed to have maximum interaction with the 600+ meeting attendees who will gather in this area for the Concurrent Sessions, Plenary & Keynote talks, daily refreshment breaks, informal seating areas, event registration, message boards, raffle prizes, Silent Auction, as well as the evening receptions and more. (Edited, 10/31/16. An unprecedented number of abstracts were submitted this year – we have expanded our meeting space to accommodate more Attendees, Posters, Oral Presentations and Exhibitors.)

Exhibit Hall Details:

Each exhibit space includes one 8’ x 30″ table and 2 chairs. Please note that electrical connections, telephone lines and/or wired internet connections are available at an additional cost. (Please make arrangements directly with the Event Coordinator, Candace Renger). We will do our best to accommodate artists with their special booth requirements.
Sponsorship and Exhibitor requests must be received by January 1, 2017 to be recognized in our printed materials. Please send ads in .jpg format saved at 100% of the ad size at 300 dpi.
As in previous years, exhibitors will be asked and encouraged to donate goods or services to our annual raffle and / or silent auction. This is optional and agreement to do so will not reduce the table registration cost.
A security guard will watch over the Exhibit Hall on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Exhibit space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by date when registration and payment are received. All decisions on exhibitor placement and approval are solely at the discretion of TWS-WS.
If you plan to ship your exhibit materials or merchandise in advance, please contact the hotel to inquire about space restrictions, timing, and charges. Phone: (866) 821-9996
Exhibitors are eligible for discounted room rates at the Peppermill Resort on a limited, first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations must be made by January 23, 2017 to receive the discounted rate. For more information: http://tws-west.org/reno2017/?page_id=72
