SEMC Exhibitor Terms and Conditions

Assignment of Exhibit Space

Exhibitors who pre-register for booths early and make deposits will receive first choice of exhibit booths. Remaining booth assignments will be made on a first‐come, first‐served basis upon receipt of reservation form and payment of deposit. Every effort will be made to honor first choice locations, but preferred sites are not guaranteed. Requests submitted without a deposit will not be honored until payment is received.

Cancellation

Booth cancellations and requests for refunds must be in writing. If received prior to August 9, 2013, there will be an 80% refund. Cancellations received after August 9 will not receive a refund.
