Navigation

The Exhibitor Map & Directory is available online. The map includes exhibitor tent numbers, location of information booths and general services and a list of exhibitors.

To improve traffic flow and reduce congestion, the event footprint has been expanded. While this change helps address challenges from previous years, attendees will have longer to walk if they wish to visit every exhibitor.
