EXHIBIT FEE SCHEDULE: 

Exhibit registration closes September 5.

Exhibitors must be verified DIR contract holders prior to payment. Register online to secure your spot while eligibility is being verified by DIR.

Upon contract verification, all fees must be paid in advance. A link to pay online will be provided upon verification.

After registering, an invoice for the exhibit fee will be available to print/download.

Please wait until we notify you of contract verification before processing payment.  Invoice must be paid by due date on the invoice or the exhibit space could be forfeited. Billing contact is jimi@xcelevents.us

All payments must be submitted to XcelEvents (not DIR).  Do not send any funds directly to DIR.

Exhibitors must agree to the Terms & Conditions as part of the online registration process in order to have an exhibit table. Please review the Terms & Conditions.

In the event of cancellation by an exhibitor, DIR shall determine an assessment against the terminating exhibitor to cover the costs of reassignment of space, prior services performed, and other costs related to cancellation, according to the following schedule:

• Exhibitors canceling on or before July 15, 2022 will be responsible for 50% of the total exhibitor rental fee.
• Exhibitors canceling after July 15, 2022 will be responsible for 100% of the total exhibitor 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, DIR reserves the right to reassign canceled booth space, regardless of the cancellation assessment. Subsequent reassignment of canceled space does not relieve the canceling exhibitor of the obligation to pay the cancellation assessment.
