|
What happens after I turn in all the required information for prospective or first-time exhibitors? |
|
Once your Waiting List application has been received and approved, CBA will place companies on the exhibit floor in the order of applications received. When space is available, CBA will send a booth offer letter for you to sign and return. Full booth payment is required at the time of acceptance. Once you have returned your acceptance letter, CBA will contact you regarding exhibit space. Viewing the Convention floorplan online will allow you as an exhibitor to pick the space that will fit your needs. You are welcome to view this site prior to returning your acceptance letter; however, the space is not guaranteed until payment is approved. |
