Setup

Monday, January 29, 2018, 10:00–11:30 a.m.

  • The table display setup is typically quick (one hour max, so prompt 10:00 a.m. setup is not necessary) and should take place while attendees are in sessions.
  • Tables are assigned on-site and will be identified by company name.
  • Standard items provided for your set include: 6ft skirted table, basic electricity, and wireless access.
  • You may bring a small pull-up banner, collateral, and technology for your set as long as your items remain within the confines of your 6ft table. (no large back drops allowed.)
  • Valuable equipment, including a laptop, should be locked or removed if leaving the area after setting up.

Rules and Regulations

As a courtesy to other participants and attendees and 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; floor displays (pop-up and back wall displays) are not allowed. Pull-up banners are allowed, but must be set behind the table and cannot exceed the length of the table.
  • The space for your corporate display is not defined with pipe and drape; please respect your neighbor's space by staying within the confines of your 6ft table.
  • Empty boxes should be stored out of sight.
  • Material distribution is limited to your corporate display area.
  • Staff your table during the scheduled refreshment breaks 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.

Industry and Campus Solutions Presentation

This presentation is given in collaboration with a current higher education client during a conference session. Articulate the issue, discuss the opportunity, and highlight how your implemented solution addressed the institution's need. These sessions take place concurrently on Tuesday, January 30 from 1:45–2:30 p.m.
