EXHIBIT HALL INFORMATION AND OPPORTUNITIES

GENERAL INFORMATION AND BOOTH OPTIONS:

• Sell adaptive equipment for the blind or visually impaired
• Represent a guide dog school
• Are an agency or entity with resources or information of interest to ACB attendees?
• Have a business that sells items of interest to our attendees
• Are an ACB affiliate or special interest group with items to sell

As an exhibitor, you will give people from across the United States and many foreign countries the opportunity to learn about your products and services.  Turn browsers into buyers as attendees give technology a trial run, check out new tutorials or crafts, or shop for products for home, school, work and play.

Make your company stand out from the crowd in our Exhibit Hall Directory. For only $50.00 place your company's complete contact information and 20-word product listing in the Directory. Even folks who don't attend the conference download the directory for future reference. Available in braille, large print, and in electronic formats.

ACB MARKETPLACE:

• Are you an entertainer or author with CDs or books to sell?
• Do you sell crafts, cosmetics, toys, etc?
• Is your affiliate looking for a fundraiser?
• Do you have information to distribute before a specific general session?

Consider ACB’s marketplace; if you will only be at the convention for one or two days or the long hours of the exhibit hall are too much.

ACB’s Marketplace will be located near the ACB Café and general session and is one of the highest traffic areas in the conference and convention.  It is open before each morning general session begins (see schedule below) and is filled with something new and exciting every day.

Your Marketplace “booth” will include a draped 6-foot display table and two chairs.  Space is limited, and tables will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Tables are $25 each, and you may reserve space for one or two days only; specify the days you prefer when registering.  Sorry, but no food items may be sold at Marketplace.

Online registration for Marketplace is not available because space is limited. To reserve your space, contact Michael Smitherman by email at exhibitors@acb.org or by phone at (601) 331-7740.  

CANCELLATION POLICY:

Cancellation requests must be received in writing and will be honored according to the date the request is received as follows:

• Before June 1: Full refund
• June 1 - 14: Fifty percent (50%) refund
• After June 14: No Refunds

Additional Information:

Booth space will be assigned when full payment is received.

Do Not Ship Exhibit Materials to the convention center or the hotels.  Use the drayage services provided by the decorator so your boxes will be waiting for you at your booth.

Exhibit kits will be distributed by late May.  Order forms for additional booth furniture and services, shipping rates and address, and other information will be included.

The American Council of the Blind, ACB Conference and Convention Committee, Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riverside Convention Center and show management are Not responsible for contents placed in booths.  ACB reserves the right to accept exhibitor registrations in accordance with ACB Resolution 99-30.
