Display Specifications and Regulations
In an effort to create a positive experience for everyone, on-site representatives should adhere to the following rules/regulations:
- The corporate display is a table display, not an exhibit booth defined with pipe and drape; please respect your neighbor's space.
- All materials/products must fit within the space provided; pull-up banners are strongly recommended as opposed to larger floor displays given the space limitations.
- Empty boxes should be stored out of sight.
- Material distribution is limited to your corporate display area.
- Staff your area during the scheduled times when attendees will be viewing corporate displays. Displays should be staffed by a maximum of two people. Too many people are intimidating to attendees and don't fit well within the confines of the space.
Contract Services and Shipping
Monitors or Dedicated Internet
Your display space will come with a 6’ skirted table, two chairs, basic electricity, and wireless access. If you’d like to rent a monitor or dedicated internet, please place your order through the online ordering portal.
Wireless internet will be available for the conference for general web functions, however, given the demand that the network will experience and the number of attendees, you could potentially experience a slow down in your speed. If a strong connection is imperative for your display and you want dedicated internet, we recommend ordering it through the hotel.
Lead Retrieval
We’re partnering with Cvent to offer you a valuable tool to collect leads and contact information during your interactions with attendees at the event.
For additional information, view the Lead Retrieval Order Form and order lead retrieval online here. We recommend ordering by May 2.
If you have questions, please contact Cvent Customer Service at [email protected].
Shipping Information
Business packages or materials may be sent to the hotel prior to your arrival. The hotel will receive them on your behalf and have them in safekeeping until the event. Please review the shipping information guide for details regarding handling and storage charges, payment of those charges, address labeling, and process for receiving packages on site.
EDUCAUSE is not responsible for coordinating, accepting, handling, or delivery of your shipment or any fees incurred. You and/or your on-site representative(s) are responsible for picking up shipped items and coordinating the return shipment.
Corporate Directory Submission Process
Promote your company for free in the event’s Corporate Directory (found on the conference website and in our mobile app). Your listing will include:
- Company name
- Sales contact (name/title/email/phone)
- Website URL
- Product/service categories
Submission instructions were provided in the confirmation email sent to your logistics contact. Please submit your directory information per the instructions provided in your confirmation email by April 18.

Housing and Registration Advisory
The Baltimore Marriott Waterfront is the only official 2025 Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference host hotel.
Improper solicitation of hotel reservations from any company other than Omni Providence is not approved. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may appear to have lower rates, however they may be illegitimate, not have the rooms to sell, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties, or be completely non-refundable.
Please be aware of and report any unauthorized solicitations to EDUCAUSE.
