INFOMERCIALS/PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS/ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

We have room available (in addition to vendor booths) for special presentations by vendors, manufacturers, and others who wish to demonstrate new products or techniques featuring their products. Space for these "infomercials" must be arranged with Alex McConahay (clubs@rtmcastronomyexpo.org) in advance. 

SETUP/TAKEDOWN

Details are available from Allan Guthmiller (vendor@rtmcastronomyexpo.org). In general, paid vendors (not free club tables) may set up starting Friday, and may be on the exhibit floor from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm both Saturday and Sunday.

PARKING

Parking is available for autos and similar sized vehicles downstairs from the meeting hall for $7 a day, with no in and out privileges. Parking is also available in several parking structures within a block or two of the facility. If you are staying in a nearby hotel, special parking arrangements apply. There is no nearby parking for larger vehicles. VENDORS NOTE: If you have a larger delivery vehicle, contact Allan Guthmiller (vendor@rtmcastronomyexpo.org) as soon as possible so that loading, temporary parking, and remote parking can be worked out for the vehicle.

DOOR PRIZES

Generally, the vendors will have drawings and raffles at various times throughout the weekend. There is no central event for door prizes. Many vendors had their own door prize "events" near their booths. Bring tickets/iinterest cards/or whatever you feel is appropriate to hand out your own door prizes.
