How are booth spaces assigned?
Booth spaces are assigned based on a number of factors. Vendors that sign up first get first choice in where they would like to set up their displays. We will also be taking into account what makes sense for each vendor given her or his individual product needs. For example, clothing vendors often want to be near the restrooms (changing rooms) and have clothing racks to contend with. Some vendors’ products work better in the front room, some need counter space, some need just a small table, etc. We will work on optimal placement for all vendors but cannot guarantee you will get your first choice. Remember that the earlier you sign up (between the 1st and the 15th), the better chance you have of getting the booth space you want.
Booth spaces are reserved on a first come, first served basis. A booth space diagram is included in your registration packet. You can request three specific choices. Booth spaces cannot be reserved until registration forms have been received by SMEB. Ultimately, the SMEB approves booth space and communities that register later will have fewer options.
