Mailing Exhibitor Materials
See the document attached at the bottom of this page. You are free to mail materials to the Bahia. They prefer that the materials get there no more than 3 days prior to the event and are marked in a specific way. Materials can also be shipped from the Bahia, the hotel will provide a form for shipper to complete that will need to accompany your packages. Sealed packages should be left in the exhibit room. All packages must be clearly labeled. Tags from your preferred shipper, with the account number to be charged, should also be adhered to all boxes. Please see the attached document below for more information.

Snack Breaks & Downtime for Participants to Meet Exhibitors are Built Into Conference Schedule
We understand the benefits of dedicated down time for conference participants to view the exhibit hall. Our conference participants can benefit greatly from our conference workshops and the content that exhibitors bring. For this reason we have scheduled dedicated breaks every day where there will be a snack available in or near the Foyer/ Exhibit Hall. Also, we arranged the Exhibit Hall to be right next to the ballroom where meals and keynotes will occur to facilitate participant traffic.
