Conference Facilities Please read the Official Exhibitor Regulations in full with regard to exhibiting in Exhibiting Costs Please note, regular 10x10 booths 327, 325, 321, 319, 315, 313, 309, 307, 227, 225, 221, 219, 215, 213, 209, and 207 do have a pillar either to the left or right of the booth (about a foot and a half of pillar would cover the booth). This pillar is marked on the floor plan as a black box. These booths would not be suitable as double booths, but should still work well as single booths. Space is limited, so please register early to secure the booth space you would like. Societies are limited to just one booth purchase in society row. If you are a society and you wish to purchase more than one booth in society row, please contact Jeanne Lund at Lund@ngsgenealogy if you have any questions. Societies may also purchase a 10x10 booth elsewhere in the hall at a cost of $200 per booth (there is no limit to the amount of booths that can be purchased for 10x10 booths). For booth numbers 526, 522, 520, 516, 514, 510, 508, 504, there is an option for you to purchase additional space adjoining your booth in the areas marked with a cross next to the booth. This space constitutes about half a booth space. Therefore if you would like a larger booth than 10x10 we can sell you this adjoining space. Please contact Jeanne Lund at Lund@ngsgenealogy.org regarding this. All booth costs for both 10x10 and 8x10 booths cover the booth for the entire conference (Wednesday through Saturday), one 8 foot long skirted table (2 feet wide, 30" tall), 2 chairs, ID sign, and a wastebasket.
