What is a Corner, In-line & Wall booth?

CORNER: This booth type simply means your booth space will have an open side, allowing you extra space to serve customers. A corner booth does not guarantee that you will be on an aisle that has cross traffic. Your corner booth could simply be at the end of a row or a break between booths. IN-LINE: This booth includes vendors on either side and behind you. Typically these booths are NOT against a wall. Most vendors with these booths bring their own version of a backdrop/wall. WALL: The same as a IN-LINE booth however you are guaranteed a wall behind your booth versus other vendors (this does not include pipe and drape or any storage). We hope this helps! Please do send us a note with any further questions.
Do you allow booth sharing?

No. Booth sharing is not allowed.
What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations prior to 60 days before an event will receive a 50% refund of total invoice. Cancellations within 60 days of an event result in no refund.
Is electrical available?

Electrical is available to purchase at time of signup (do NOT wait until show time as this often is not available and if so will come at a higher cost). As an option vendors who do multiple events a year may wish to consider purchasing a small portable battery power supply which can be a cost effective option. Ensure any power devices are CSA approved.
