Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to the Sponsorship & Exhibit Frequently Asked Questions. This page was created to further assist our clients by providing simple answers to questions that we receive quite often. We have divided this page into two sections in order to help
you find the answers you are looking for more quickly. If your company has already signed on to exhibit and you have some questions regarding the event, click the "Current Exhibitors FAQ". If your company is considering
an exhibit space, the "Prospective Exhibitors FAQ" will be a valuable resource to learn more about the conference and what exhibiting will entail.
