How many attendees are expected at this event?

1,000, including exhibitors, attendees, speakers, volunteers and students.

What are the titles of attendees? Are they decision makers?

We have a mix of attendees. Some are decision-makers, such as company presidents, department and site leaders. Some are sales professionals. Some are engineers and project managers, and others are students. We appeal to a broad range of life science professionals.

Where do the attendees primarily come from – the local region or across the nation?

Because there is a large pharmaceutical presence as well as key university programs in bio-engineering in the RTP area of North Carolina, the attendance is largely from the Triangle area of North Carolina. However, we cover the entire Southeast region and there also are pharma companies concentrated in South Carolina, Atlanta, and Tampa areas. We also have a small international presence. This is the largest event of its kind in the southeast.

How can I tell if booth space is still available?

When a booth has been claimed, it will be shaded red and marked “Reserved” with the name of the Exhibiting Company. If you run a mouse over it, you will see who has reserved that particular space.

Where can I find out which booth my company signed up for?

Simply visit the conference website and you will find a link that will take you to a listing or a directory of booth or table sign-ups. Or you can hover your mouse over the different booths on the floor plan to locate your table or booth.

What does high-resolution photo and logo mean?

We need “high-resolution” images for the Printed Program and Sponsor Signs. A high-resolution image size is usually listed as MB (megabytes) rather than KB (kilobytes) which is smaller. An image taken from a website or email signature is usually low-resolution. High-resolution graphics are acceptable as Vector .EPS images. You may need to contact your graphics or marketing department to obtain a high-resolution logo and/or advertisement. We CANNOT use the logo you upload for the website “Exhibitor Directory” for the Printed Program or Signage; the image will be “pixelated” (made of dots) or very tiny and not visible.

How do I know what size ad to submit?

The ad sizes are as follows:

Quarter Page Ad = 3.625" wide x 4.875" tall

Half Page Ad = 7.5" wide x 4.875" tall

Full Page Ad = 7.5" wide x 10" tall

How do I pay?

You can pay with a credit card using our secure online payment module. Or you can pay with a check. If you are paying with a check, please remit payment within two weeks (14 days) of reserving your booth or table, or you may risk forfeiting that location to another exhibitor.

I was hoping to get the same table we had last year, but when I tried to select it, a message popped up informing me that table is disabled. Is that because the table is no longer available, or because we sent in an early registration form, is it already reserved for us?

We may have changed the designation for that particular table number. They layout may have changed and table numbers reconfigured, or someone else may have reserved it. You need to visit the registration area and manually select your table. We do not reserve tables.

N.B. Paying an “Advance Deposit” between this year’s conference and August 15, 2016, entitles you to first choice and a discount on the 2017 conference.

I just registered for a booth as an exhibitor and would like to be located next to a particular company. Would it be possible to hold the table next to ours for a couple of days until they sign up?

It would be best if you both sign up on the same day, as close as possible to the same time. We don’t “hold tables.” Alternatively, you could register and we could switch your table location at a later date.
