Sponsor Display Information

A limited amount of space is available for GOLD SPONSORS to set up table-top displays in the poster display and refreshment break area.

NCER 2016 Display Set-up and Removal Times:

  • MOVE-IN: Monday, April 18; 3:00pm – 6:00pm
  • MOVE-OUT: Friday, April 22; 10:00am – 12:00pm
    • Space is limited. You will be provided with one 6' x 24” x 30”h table draped and skirted, and two chairs.
    • Your table will be identified with a tent card, so you will easily see which table is assigned to your organization.
    • Posters and sponsor table top displays will be set up in the Orchid Ballroom in the conference center. This is 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 sessions.
    • 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 400-450 people to attend the conference if you wish to bring informational materials sufficient for all attendees.
    • Parking is complimentary. To unload materials, we recommend that you use the conference center entrance, which is closest to the Orchid Ballroom. If you need assistance by a bellman, then it would be best to use the hotel’s main entrance.

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