Exhibitor Policies and Additional Information

Space Assignments and Staffing

  • NACAC will assign table space alphabetically according to the name listed as “booth sign” on the registration form. Onsite CCF registrations will be assigned a table, space permitting, at the end of the alphabetical order of schools.
  • A maximum of three people may staff each booth, and the booth personnel must be registered attendees of the National Conference.

Exhibitor Setup and Breakdown Policy

  • Each registered institution will be furnished with one six-foot draped table, 2 chairs, a wastebasket and a booth ID sign with institution name, city, state and country (if non-US).
  • Banners or signs placed on exhibit tables must fit within this allotted space and may not impede sightlines of adjacent booths.
  • Exhibitors must prepare their tables before the opening of the CCF and remove their materials from the table immediately after the event ends.
  • Tables will be available for set-up on Friday from 12p.m.-4 p.m.

Table Displays and Guidelines

  • Fire marshal regulations restrict the number of booth personnel staffing each table to a maximum of three people–no exceptions. All booth personnel must be registered attendees of the NACAC Conference.
  • Arrive on time for the fair, and staff your booth during all fair hours.
  • Stay for the entire program – counselors are excited to see you! There will be no refunds for no-shows.

  • Table displays cannot exceed 20” in height and may not impede sightlines of adjacent booths.
  • Keep the aisles clear of boxes and materials.
  • Booth tables must remain in direct alignment with all others in the assigned row. Tables may not be realigned to a different traffic pattern or impede intended traffic flow.
  • College representatives who exhibit at the CCF are expected to distribute only official printed materials (brochures, catalogs, etc.) regarding the educational programs or student life at their respective colleges or universities so that the intent of the exhibit remains intact.
  • Small promotional giveaways, including key chains, water bottles, stickers, pens/pencils, t-shirts, pennants, bags, and food/candy, are allowed! Prohibited items/activities include demonstrations (including those with live animals, food preparation, drawings/raffles, etc.) or competitions of any kind. (If you are not sure if something is acceptable, ask the NACAC representative onsite.) NACAC reserves the right to dismantle an exhibitor’s table for violation of this policy.
