2. You can communicate with this group by having a “Vendor Booth”:

We use the term “booth” loosely.  Your booth space consists of one table and two chairs.  
Tables are not skirted and there is no partition between booths.  

Booth Hours:
Friday, October 11th 7:30am-6:00pm.
Booth Cost*
• All non-profit exhibitors (museums, schools etc.) $40.00 per table
• Local commercial exhibitors (KS, MO, NE, OK, CO) $45.00 per table
• National commercial exhibitors $80.00 per table
• Unstaffed table (distribution of catalogs etc.) $30.00 per table

*Booth cost includes lunch on Friday, as well as the Friday Evening Awards Banquet
if you choose to attend.

When can I set-up?  Exhibitors may set-up their tables in Regnier Center/Nerman Museum of Contemporary
Art Atrium, Johnson County Community College, in advance on Thursday, October 10th 4:00pm-7:00pm
(a disclaimer that the area is open & unattended overnight, so valuables should not be left out).  
Exhibitors can also set-up their booth for a full day of business on Friday, October 11th from 7:30am-4:00pm.
The conference attendees will be walking by the tables throughout Friday’s events.
Exhibitors will have many opportunities to interact with the participants before workshops, after workshops,
and during meals.  Please let us know if you, the exhibitor, would like to facilitate a workshop,
so we can email you the proposal form or go to the conference website to find the form.

Can I ship my booth display in advance?  Yes, if you need things shipped in advance, please indicate so
on your Vendor Registration Contract form and it can be shipped to:
Johnson County Community College
Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art
ATTN: Katherine Morse
12345 College Blvd
Overland Park, KS  66210

Can I sell products at this conference?  YES!  And more importantly, teachers mentioned that they
WANT exhibitors to sell at the convention.  The state of Kansas requires that tax be collected on all
sales based on the tax rate at the point of delivery.  Schools are exempt from tax, however the
instrument of payment, by law, must be from the school
(such as a Purchase Order or district purchasing card),
not a personal form of payment from the teacher.  The website www.ksrevenue.org/index.htm
might be helpful to you. *See the JCCC Merchandise Sales Agreement at the end of this document.

Will attendees have ample time to spend at the exhibitor booths?  YES! As the number of our exhibitors
grows, the conference attendees develop a greater interest in visiting the vendors.  
We are gearing the booth hours to maximize your exposure time.
The atrium space is highly accessible and is adjacent to the main museum entrance.

3. You can promote your company, product and/or teacher resources by donating
product door prizes.  If you would like to donate products to be used as door prizes,
