Save Money by joining NSSEA
You can save $600 per 10' x 10' exhibit space by joining NSSEA at the same time you reserve your exhibit space. Simply check the membership box on the booth space application and include your dues payment along with your exhibit space payment. By joining NSSEA at the same time you reserve your space, you not only save $600 per booth, but the $100 application processing fee is waived, as well!
Space Assignment
Priority exhibit space assignment will be made after October 8, 2010, according to the NSSEA Point System which awards two points for each year of continuous NSSEA membership; one point for each year of exhibiting at Ed Expo within the past nine years, up to a maximum of nine points; and one point for each equivalent paid 10' x 10' booth at the preceding Ed Expo. After this date, space will be assigned as applications with fees are accepted. Companies with the most points will be assigned first, followed by companies in decreasing order of points. Companies with equal points will be assigned in booth size order and, if equal size, then by date of receipt of contract with payment. Companies whose preferences are not available during assignment will be assigned the closest available booth space to preferences listed on the application. No space will be confirmed without receipt of the entire booth fee and contract.
Show management will try to accommodate exhibitor requests to be assigned near or next to each other. However, the integrity of the priority point system cannot be compromised so that individual companies with fewer points gain the higher points of another company. If all companies within the group consent to being assigned space based on the points of the company with the fewest points, then there will be a greater probability of accommodating the request.
Show management must receive this request and consent in writing prior to the priority assignment date. NSSEA reserves the right to make a final determination of booth space in the best interest of the show.
