EXHIBITORS’ FAIR DETAILS Unlike many trade shows, our exhibitors’ fair has an intimate, friendly atmosphere. Our two-room layout allows for more exhibiting space and gives you a choice of price options; sponsor exhibitors will always receive priority placement in Area 1. Please note that our exhibitors’ fair sells out every year; space is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. We apologize that we cannot accommodate groups that would like to share tables.
