SFTIC 2017 Display Set-up and Removal Times:

  • MOVE-IN: Monday, June 19: 2:00pm – 6:00pm [Barbados Ballroom]
  • MOVE-OUT: Wednesday, June 21; 3:00pm – 3:30pm
    • Space is limited. You will be provided with a 6’ by 6’ cube of space to accommodate one 6' x 24” x 30”h table draped and skirted, and two chairs.
    • Pop-up banners may be used, as long as they fit within the 6’ x 6’ cube of space.
    • If you plan to put pop-up banners behind your table, make sure your graphics department knows the important content should appear at the top of the banner.
    • Your table will be identified with a tent card, so you will easily see which table is assigned to your organization. Table locations are assigned by the organizers.
    • Posters and sponsor table top displays are set up in the same room where daily morning, mid-day and afternoon refreshment breaks will be served.
    • Table top displays are meant to serve as a forum to display informational materials so a representative does not need to always be at the table.
    • If you want to interact with attendees, the times that would be most effective to do so are during early morning refreshments, daily am and pm breaks and the evening poster session.
    • Anyone attending the conference must be a full registrant. If someone is just coming in just to set up the table display, they do not need to register.
    • We expect roughly 85 people to attend the conference if you wish to bring informational materials sufficient for all attendees.
    • For a nominal gratuity, you can request assistance by hotel bell staff to unload materials.
    • You will have free access to wireless internet in the display room. Electricity can be arranged. Please let us know by May 1st if you will need power at your table.

If you require assistance with shipping display materials to or from the hotel in advance, the Hotel will accept shipments no earlier than three (3) days prior to the arrival day of the convention. Please address all shipments to:
