Booth Sharing
Booth sharing is permitted; however, no more than two organizations may share one booth and SSWR will not match shared booth space. The total cost of the booth fee must be submitted with the Exhibitor Registration Form from each participating organization. If an exhibitor withdraws from the exhibit at any time, the other exhibitor with whom they were sharing a booth is fully responsible for the entire booth fee balance. The withdrawing exhibitor will be charged a $150 administrative fee for withdrawing.

“Take One” Table
There will be one table designated as a “Take One Table”. Organizations or individuals must place their own materials on this table and remove them at the end of the conference. This area will not be staffed. No materials may be shipped to SSWR for this table.

Exhibitors have paid a fee for the privilege of presenting their materials to participants in this conference. SSWR does not endorse, or necessarily recommend the products.
