For further information on the Educational Grant Program, please see the appropriate form in the Exhibitor’s Information Packet. Specifics on the space are as follows: Each exhibit area is approximately 8’ x 10’. Skirted tables will be provided. Displays must not be more than 42” in height along the sides of the booth in order to prevent obstructing the view of other booths. The cost of the booth is $1,500 or $5,000 for foyer space.
