EXHIBITOR BOOTH DIAGRAMS (for 20x20 nsf & greater)

Before designing your booth, review the Rules document for specific references to accepted design and practice for your booth and your hanging signage (e.g, required minimum “see-through” value of 40% for all island booths).

For all exhibitors with booths of 400 square feet (20x20) or greater, scaled drawings (front view, elevation, and top) must be submitted to Exhibit Management no later than April 26, 2023, for review and approval: cbrown@wocn.org, phone 856-642-4401. End cap booths are not permitted. Click here to download the WOCNext 2023 Exhibit Booth Drawings, Design, and Set Up document.

EXHIBITOR CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE (for All Exhibitors - Due Monday, May 1, 2023)

By Monday, May 1, 2023: All Exhibitors must provide Exhibit Management with a current document called “Certificate of Insurance (COI)”. Why? General liability should protect your company, employees, and volunteers, should a claim arise against your company for an incident occurring at your booth causing 3rd party bodily injury or property damage.

Also protects exhibitors who do not have Commercial General Liability Insurance or who do not want to use their own insurance. Protects foreign exhibitors whose insurance will not pay claims brought in U.S. courts.

Booth setup cannot begin without your company’s COI on file. Contact your insurance representative to secure your COI document.

UPLOAD YOUR COMPANY COI

---

WOCN Society requires all Exhibitors to provide evidence of carrying Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate. WOCN Society shall be named as Additional Insured. This Insurance must be in force during the lease dates of the event, June 1-8, 2023.

The WOCN® Society does not endorse any insurance company. WOCN Society does not earn compensation as a result of the relationship with the following suggested source: Buttine Underwriters Purchasing Group, LLC, Kendra Reilly Monahan, Phone 212-867-3642 or kmonahan@risk-strategies.com.

EXHIBITOR HOUSING KEY DATES / DEADLINES:

• Monday, April 24, 2023 - For 10+ hotel room subblocks, final day to update Passkey with occupant names/rooming list. Exhibiting company's obligation is based on achieving 75% of room nights secured as of April 24. Should less than 75% be realized, exhibitor is invoiced post-event for actual pick-up of less than 75%.
• Friday, May 19, 2023 - Final day to reserve hotel rooms at the special group rates. Hotel rooms and rates after May 19 are subject to availability. Changes and cancellations are subject to availability.

It is certainly your choice as to where you want to stay during the event, but please understand that WOCNext® has contractual obligations that we must honor, and we must do all we can to assure that there are no negative financial implications to WOCNext and the membership. By not staying in a “host” hotel you miss out on the camaraderie of fellow event attendees inside and outside of scheduled activities. Please factor in the cost to commute to and from the event if you stay outside of the WOCNext block. 

We have received reports of UNOFFICIAL housing companies contacting our exhibitors and attendees offering rooms at a lower rate in selected hotels. All hotel reservations for 2023 should be made directly with the WOCNext Housing Department. Any housing company claiming to represent WOCNext 2023 is not affiliated with this event or the WOCN Society.
