The application will not allow submission unless all required sections are fully completed.

Returning Exhibitors: Payment is required at the time of application. Returning exhibitors may choose to pay the full booth fee upfront or submit a 30% non-refundable deposit, with the remaining balance divided as follows:
• Applications submitted through April 1st may split the remaining balance into three payments

Returning exhibitors who complete their application by 11:59 PM on January 15th will receive 10% off their total invoice.

New Exhibitors: New exhibitors follow the same payment structure; however, no payment is required until the application has been reviewed and approved. Upon approval, exhibitors will receive an invoice and payment link based on the payment option selected in their application. At that time, exhibitors may either pay the full booth fee upfront or submit a 30% non-refundable deposit, with the remaining balance divided according to the applicable payment schedule based on the month of approval.
