NOTE: Deliver to dock area
Any exhibitor who plans to ship materials should make sure they are received at UMKC by Friday, March 23rd. Please note that the booth spaces are limited to 10x10. Larger booths will not be allowed as they result in overcrowding of the exhibit hall.
Please bring your own extension cords/power strips if you need power. All the booths against the walls should have outlet access but need the cords/strips in case they can’t reach the nearest outlet on the wall. Other booths will have floor power access but should come prepared with the cords they need to reach. The Student Union will not have any cords available for exhibitors to use, but they will help us to tape down anything on the floor.
Also, come prepared with shipping labels and arrange pickup with your shipping company for the return shipment of your booths at the end of the conference. Student Union staff will be available to coordinate delivery back to the dock area.
