New Policy Regarding Hotel Block
Our policy for exhibitor room blocks has changed. We no longer have an Exhibitor Room Block at any hotel. We will provide you with a variety of rates for different hotels that should suit most exhibitors needs. If you have specific questions please call us. In a further attempt to accommodate exhibitors we’ve changed our closing hours to help those who live nearby. Closing at 7 PM or 8:00 PM will allow anyone who wishes to spend the night at home this opportunity. The suggested rates we are providing should allow our exhibitors who need a hotel room to find something that fits their specific criteria. Exhibitors can also check the internet for rates. Often times, these rates are cheaper when calling the hotels directly. Our suggestion for booking rooms during our set up and show would be to contact “Hotel tonight” or Calling directly to familiar hotels. We will provide a list of what we believe to be the best hotels, covering a wide range of pricing and accommodations.
