Set-Up Note: All tabletop materials must fit behind your 6’ tabletop and may not exceed 6’ tall. We recommend 1 to 2 pop-up banners to put behind your table, marketing collateral, and a branded tablecloth for this event. View floorplans attached and contact vrmaexhibits@vrma.org if you have any specific questions pertaining to your tabletop set up. Your table number will be assigned in the coming weeks.
 

We recommend exhibitors bring collateral and other giveaways to engage with attendees for an enhanced and more memorable experience.  Ideas might be to offer food or serve a specialty cocktail from your table, or luxury treatments such as red-light masks and lotions. Contact vrmaexhibits@vrma.org to add food or drink to your table. Contact Everett Lightle or Kevin McDonnell to discuss additional sponsorship opportunities.

Electrical:

Electric is NOT included in your table setup, and we cannot guarantee access to a wall outlet. Please bring extra chargers/batteries as needed.

If you want to order electrical for your table, place your order through the Encore online portal. If you have any questions regarding electrical, please email Michelle Charosky at michelle.charosky@encoreglobal.com.

Note: We will not have overnight security in the Salon, so please do not leave any valuables in your booth.
