TO INTERESTED ARTISTS, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS
If you are an artist, a member of a company that manufactures or sells
products that wildlife managers would use, or a member of an organization
concerned with wildlife management issues, we invite your participation
as an exhibitor at the 27th Annual Natural Areas Conference.
Because conference participants may use, purchase and recommend equipment
and materials like those that you and your company offer, this conference
will be a great opportunity for you to get exceptional exposure. Space for
commercial and non-commercial exhibitors has been reserved in the Upper Terrace
at the Henry VIII Hotel and Conference Center, which is the site for daily
coffee breaks, book signings by guest speakers, the scientific poster session
and the silent auction. Attendance by conference participants at these gatherings
ensures that your products will be highly visible. In addition, your company
will be listed as an exhibitor in conference materials that each participant
receives.
To help you decide on participation as an exhibitor,
please note the following requirements.
Pricing For one booth space, price is $250 per "for
profit" organization or $125 per nonprofit organization.
Format
Booth space will include one 8' x 10' space, one 6' skirted table, two
chairs, one wastebasket, and one 7" x 44" identification sign indicating
your company name and booth number. Electrical and phone services carry additional
charges. Please call or specify in writing any additional services you may
require at your booth. These needs will be forwarded to the convention services
company we hire, and you may pay them directly for any additional costs.
Time
The exhibit area will be available beginning 9:00 am on Monday, October
16, 2000. Setup should be complete by 1:00 pm, before registration for the
conference officially begins. Your displays may remain until 9:00 am on Thursday,
October 19, 2000, then all materials must be removed by 2:00 pm. The area
will be guarded and/or locked nightly.
Deadline
We can accommodate space for your company's exhibit as long as space remains
available. However, we can guarantee space, a pre-made sign for your booth,
and above-mentioned advertising only if you confirm your needs and submit
payment by August 14, 2000. For advertising in the Conference Packet,
please register before July 19, 2000.
To assist you with pre-conference planning, to provide the most effective
exhibit show floor plan, and to help with displaying your products in the
most advantageous way, we are hiring a convention services company. We will
announce in future correspondence who you will be working with and how to
contact them for additional booth space or other needs.
