User Group Meetings
If you are interested in hosting a User Group meeting, the Program committee has designated time on Wednesday evening following the Wine and Hors d’oeuvres. Please contact The University Guest House for meeting space within the hotel and they will assist you in obtaining a meeting room as well as the food and beverages that suit your needs.

If you are interested in hosting a meeting outside the Guest House or University please visit http://www.opentable.com/salt-lake-city-restaurants to find a restaurant in the city that fits your needs. Only companies who have an exhibit booth at the GCMAS meeting will be allowed to host User Group meetings during the GCMAS meeting.

Exhibit Hall/Booth Selection
Exhibit booths will be located in the Officer’s Club which is a three minute walk from the podium sessions, and provides approximately 4,420 square feet of space for exhibit booths and food and beverages for attendees. Due to space constraints, posters will be set up under tents adjoining the Officer’s Club. Complimentary wireless internet access will be available throughout the conference venue, including the exhibitor/poster area.

The layout for the Exhibit Hall is available at http://www.eiseverywhere.com/image.php?acc=2059&id=722846. Please indicate your booth preference during registration. We will make our best effort to assign your booth based on your preference, but we make no guarantee that you will get one of your chosen booth locations.
GES Exposition Services will be handling drayage, pipe and drape for the meeting. Click here for the Exhibitor Kit.

Exhibitor registration includes complimentary attendance at all Conference functions for 2-4 people, depending on size/location of booth, including the Welcome Reception and Banquet, to allow interactions with attendees in a more social setting.
