Setup Requirements

All registration materials and identification badges must be obtained at the Exhibitor Registration Desk. At least one representative from each exhibiting company must check in at the Exhibitor Registration Desk and set up the company’s booth(s) on Sunday, August 3, during exhibit installation hours, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Exhibitors who do not complete setup of their booth(s) before 3:00 p.m. on August 3 will automatically forfeit their exhibit booth space(s) unless previous arrangements have been made with APPA’s expo manager. The disposition of the booth(s) will then be entirely at the discretion of the APPA. No refunds will be granted, nor will previously paid monies be applied to future shows or other marketing areas. No exceptions will be made. Exhibitors are expected to have their booths in show condition each day before the exhibit hall opens.

The exhibit hall will close at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 5. All booths must remain open and fully staffed until 11:00 a.m. An exhibitor who begins dismantling prior to this time will jeopardize participation in future shows.

Please note:  If any exihibitor is outsourcing their exhibit booth setup and or dismanting, APPA requires the person/company name by Friday, July 12, 2008.

Exhibit Badge Policy

Each booth is allotted two complimentary Institute registration badges (one for non-profit organizations) which permits entrance to all Institute receptions, workshops, general sessions and expo. Additionally, two complimentary Institute badges permitting access to the expo only will be provided per booth.  Additional exhibit only badges are available at a cost of $50 per badge and must be listed on the Exhibit Reservation Booth Contract.  Only those persons employed by the exhibiting company are entitled to name badges. All others must register for the Institute and pay the Institute registration fee.

It is recommended that any additional representatives wishing to register to attend the Institute do so in advance to take advantage of APPA’s reduced registration rates.  Registration forms may be obtained by calling Kris Chappell at (859) 244-8204.
