Where can I load in and load out?
Information TBA.

Do I need to order a furniture package?
• The furniture package includes 1 table, 2 chairs and one trash can. Carpet and vacuuming is not needed. Pipe and drape is not used.
• If you want anything additional you will need to call the hotel directly. Refer to registration confirmation materials that will be mailed to you after registration.

What is the size of the booth?

• Each booth includes one 6' table (6' x 2.5'- depends on availability with hotel), covered and draped. "Booth" is then essentially 6' deep by 7' wide.
• This is a table-top show. Therefore no pipe and drape is supplied nor charged for. Space is limited to use of the table top and 3-4 feet to stand behind the table. It is not recommended to bring a full 10 x 10 booth set up to this show. Aisles will be approximately 8-10 feet wide. You may not encroach on others' booth space.

Can we offer a donation for the
ACVO Vision for Animals Foundation?
Yes. This auction will take place during the meeting. It is a silent-bid auction. Your company's name will be displayed next to the item throughout the meeting and receive recognition in the ACVO newsletter and on the Foundation's website.

How are booth assignments made?
The ACVO's table-top exhibit hall's booths have sold out quickly the past three years (by the end of May in 2007), limited booth space is available.  Booth assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. If multiple registrations are received the same day, companies which have exhibited the longest with ACVO will be given priority in booth placement.  The ACVO will do its best to give all exhibitors their best booth choice possible while also attempting to place competing companies apart. Booths will be assigned to all exhibitors who have completed an application and paid the fee. No requests for exhibit space will be accepted by telephone or held without payment. See the floor plan for booth layout and to make requests. You may also register online today to reserve and pay for your booth space.

May we attend the CE Sessions?
You are welcome to attend the CE sessions, if your booth is covered by another representative. Please wait until the attendees are seated and take an extra seat. All CE sessions are expected to be full.

 

Can we break down prior to the posted end time of 2pm on Saturday?

• No, if you do you may forfeit future attendance at the ACVO conference.
• If you have an emergency or special need please check with the ACVO as soon as possible. Otherwise, allowing early break-downs can be disturbing to the exhibit show and scientific sessions and attendees during CE and/or break times.
