CANCELLATION POLICY 

Please review the Exhibitor Terms and Conditions for complete details. In the event of cancellation by an exhibitor or sponsor, DIR shall determine an assessment against the terminating exhibitor or sponsor to cover the costs of reassignment of space or sponsor package, prior services performed, and other costs related to cancellation, according to the following schedule:

  • Exhibitors or Sponsors canceling on or before September 8, 2026 will be responsible for 50% of the total exhibitor or sponsor fee.
  • Exhibitors or Sponsors canceling after September 8, 2026 will be responsible for 100% of the total exhibitor or sponsor fee.

DIR must receive written notification of the cancellation in writing. The date the cancellation notice is received by DIR will determine above assessment charges. In the event of either a full or partial cancellation of space by an exhibitor or sponsor, DIR reserves the right to reassign canceled booth space or sponsorship package, regardless of the cancellation assessment. Subsequent reassignment of canceled space or package does not relieve the canceling exhibitor or sponsor of the obligation to pay the cancellation assessment.
