Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I submit multiple booth space choices?
A: You may choose up to three 10'x10' booths or an Island. Five fields will be available for you to submit your first through fifth choice of booth selection. If you plan on securing only one booth or an Island, simply put one booth number in each field beginning with your first choice and ending with your fifth. If you plan on securing more than one booth, you must include each booth in the appropriate field. For instance if your first booth pick for a 10'x20' space includes booths 200 and 202 and your second booth pick is 400 and 402 you would enter 200/202 in the first field, and 400/402 in the second field. The same applies for your pick of a 10'x30' space, you would enter 200/202/204 in the first field and 400/402/404 in the second field, etc.
Q: Do I need to pay for my sponsorship with my booth payment?
A: No, however, if a contract has not been signed and a payment of at least 50% of your sponsorship total has not been made by September, the sponsorship you wish to secure will be considered still out for bid. This includes prior year sponsorship claims.
Q: Do I need to pay for my Technomercial space with my booth payment?
A: A reservation cannot be guaranteed unless a 50% deposit accompanies an application. You may sign up for a Technomercial at any time prior to the annual IIAR Conference, space permitting, as long as you are a confirmed exhibitor and an IIAR member. Technomercial space is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Prior year presenters do not receive right of first refusal to the Technomercial presentations. They are open to bid for all, however, prior year sponsors do receive priority.
Q: When will I receive confirmation of my booth space?
A: You will receive confirmation that you correctly submitted your exhibit space application immediately by email. You will receive confirmation from IIAR headquarters within 48 to 72 hours of your submission. Booth space is awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, however, since IIAR permits each exhibitor to submit conditions for placement, such as proximity to competitors, it may be necessary to negotiate a placement before a space can be confirmed. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Q: Is it necessary to have my 30 word exhibitor description completed prior to submission?
A: If you do not confirm your product description right away, it can be added at a later date. It is up to you to confirm your description, otherwise IIAR will not include a description online or in its printed material. You must complete a product description no later than December in order to be included in any IIAR printed materials for the conference. A reminder will be sent out prior to this date.
Q: Is it necessary to have my 75 word Technomercial description completed prior to submission?
A: The same answer applies to the Technomercial description as applies to the exhibitor description. You must complete a Technomercial description no later than December in order to be included in any IIAR printed materials for the conference. A reminder will be sent out prior to that date.
Q: Where can I find my prior year 30 word exhibitor description?
A: You can reference your prior year exhibitor description on the Exhibitor Information page for the current year's conference & expo.
