As an exhibitor, you will meet face-to-face with hundreds of community managers, giving you the opportunity to pursue new leads, discover better ways to service the community management industry and strengthen your bond with top clients. The Exhibitor Contract is now available and is included in this Exhibitor Prospectus (see page 2). Submit your contract now, as this Exhibitor Prospectus was sent to all active CACM Affiliate Members meaning this event will sell out quickly! HOW TO RESERVE YOUR BOOTH: Review the Exhibit Hall Map (page 7), to determine your top booth location choices. Then, complete and return the Exhibitor Contract with payment. TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR BOOTH: We recommend your requested booth spaces be in different areas of the Exhibit Hall. If you can't decide on a specific booth number, you can also make your booth selections in general terms. For example: any corner booth, any booth in the middle of a row, or any booth on a side wall. Double Booths are available for purchase; see page 5 (under Purchase of Booth Space) for more information. CACM makes every attempt to assign you a booth space of your choosing, but if your top choices have already been reserved, we will assign you the next closest space available. Due to the large number of contracts submitted, we are unable to discuss and/or advise on available spaces prior to assignment. Booth assignments will be based solely on your selections and will not take into account the service category of surrounding exhibitors. REASONS TO ACT ASAP: Since exhibitor booths and their locations are assigned on a first come, first served basis, it's important to submit your contract as soon as possible. Also, keep in mind that this event sells out quickly year after year.
