Exhibits must remain intact during the open hours of the CRB Show. Dismantling and/or removal of exhibit materials from the Show floor during open hours may result in the loss of opportunity to exhibit at future events. Show management will have sole discretion over decisions to renew exhibitors found in violation of this policy.
Booth Assignment & Registration
The CRA cannot guarantee booth location or reserve booth space without a completed online registration form and $500 deposit per booth.
Booth assignments are made on a first-come, first-serve basis, so the sooner an online form is completed, the greater the chance your ideal space will be confirmed.
Order Taking
Exhibitors will be allowed to take orders on the exhibit floor; exchange of merchandise for payment will not be permitted.
CRB Show Logo Use
Exhibitors are encouraged to use the CRB Show logo in advertising or direct mailings that promote their participation in the CRB Show.
Contact the Events & Sponsorship Manager for usage guidelines and a copy of the CRB Show logo. Logo use will be granted only to contracted exhibitors.
Use of the CRA or CRF logo(s) is prohibited.
