Each display table will be provided with two chairs. It is expected that each display table will have one individual at the table at all times. In order to display at a table each company must bring two representatives so one person must remain at the vendor’s table while the other person attends the presentations in the Auditorium. On the day of the event, vendor display tables will not be assigned and will be first-come-first-serve. Once a vendor has arrived he will be permitted to set-up at any display table that is available at that time. Vendors exhibiting at a display table will be limited to that which one can carry for this event. Large pop-up display banners that cannot be carried are not permitted to be brought to the event. All attendees will be checked in at security and will board a bus for drop off at the main building (building 300) of the Technical Center. The FAA does not endorse any product, service or enterprise in connection with vendors at this event.
