Review all of the following information:

• Space Selection Policies & Procedures
• Priority Points System
• Priority Points List
• Floor Plan
• Contract

Companies will select space according to list of total priority points. Points are rounded to the nearest hundred. Please refer to the enclosed Priority Point List to determine your company’s position in the space selection procedure. Space selections will begin in Room 204, promptly at 11:00am, Wednesday, November 16, 2005, and will continue based on the following schedule:

Exhibitors selecting a booth for the first time may begin when exhibitors with priority points have completed their selections.

1. Companies sharing identical total points will be assigned a priority position based on a drawing during the space selection meeting. The order of the selection will be announced at that time.
2. Each company’s name will be announced. If there is no response, and if the company has submitted a contract for exhibit space prior to the space selection meeting, exhibit space will be assigned by Exhibition Management based on total space requested and general location as noted on the contract.
3. As a result of the growth of the SC Exhibits over the last several years, the floorplan has been drawn to maximize available exhibit space. Exhibitors may select booth sizes as shown on the floorplan or combine certain booths to achieve the desired size. Exhibit space may not be cut. Certain aisles may not be crossed to create booths as per the instructions of the Fire Marshall.  Exhibitors may select their SC06 booth size up to the maximum of their 2005 booth size.
4. The break at the end of each hour may be utilized by Exhibitors to make changes who have been allocated space earlier. Such changes will be made in order of each company’s priority points. This interval may also be used for the assignment of space to any Exhibitor whose name had been announced prior to the break, but was not assigned space because their contract had not been received by Exhibition Management and the Exhibitor was not present when their name was called.
5. After the Space Selection Meeting, requests for changes in space should be submitted to Exhibition Management in writing after the conference.
6. Financial Responsibility Disclosure: Please check with your company’s purchasing department to be sure you have the authority to sign the SC06 space contract, which is a binding financial contract. Contracting for space at an SC event creates a binding financial obligation and, at the time your signed contract is turned in at the meeting, your company is financially obligated under the terms of the contract and subject to all the terms and conditions of the contract, all the stipulated payments, and specified penalties in the event of cancellation, reduction, or withdrawal from SC06 by your company. Certain provisions of the contract and time sensitive and must be observed. See Actual Contract.

Example: Company purchases:

100 square feet in SC00
200 square feet in SC01
300 square feet in SC02
400 square feet in SC03
500 square feet in SC04
600 square feet in SC|05

2100 square feet (equals 21)

Total of 21 Points, as shown above, multiplied by 6 consecutive years as an Exhibitor, equals a cumulative Total of 126 Priority Points.

Companies not exhibiting for a year will lose all points accumulated and upon returning must start again to accumulate points just as a first time Exhibitor.

Space Reduction or Space Cancellation: Exhibitors who reduce or cancel their contracted exhibit space after the space selection meeting will be charged a penalty under the specified terms and conditions of the SC06 Exhibitor's Contract.

This policy is intended to discourage Exhibitors from “blocking” exhibit space they may not fully expect to use at the show. This will provide each Exhibitor with a more accurate picture of space availability at the time of the space selection meeting.

This policy is intended to help all Exhibitors by giving each the assurance that they have received the best booth location possible in a fair and equitable space selection procedure.
