Wednesday March 5th March 5th is an additional set up day to allow exhibitors to finish up; all exhibitors are required to begin set up on March 4th. All exhibits must be set by 8am on March 5th to be ready for the registration coffee break.

Anything left after this time may be disposed of by the facility unless prior shipping arrangements have been made.

ACCOMMODATIONUnfortunately the room black where we had negotiated reduced rates is now completely full. Please visit Expedia, where you will be able to find alternative accommodation in an around the city. Please book your Hotel rooms sooner rather than later, as availability in San Francisco is very limited over the Conference dates. SHIPPINGAll shipping is to be organized and paid independently by the exhibitor. If you are shipping in advance it is STRONGLY ADVISED to pre-arrange for return shipping from the venue, before attending the exhibition. It is also important to bring TRACKING NUMBERS with you in the unlikely event a package needs to be traced. Please also bring all necessary packing and shipping materials with you. It is not the responsibility of EyeforTravel to arrange shipment although we will be on hand to offer advice. All shipping should be sent to Hotel480 Union Sqaure (Formerly known as Crown Plaza Union Square) and should arrive no earlier than: Monday March 3rd (otherwise the hotel will charge a storage fee per day per delivery) and no later than: Monday March 3rd For your convenience I have created a Shipping Label, which must be printed out and attached to all exhibition material boxes. COMPANY OVERVIEW & LOGOExhibitors each get a 100-word overview and their company logo in the EyeforTravel Show Guide. OVERVIEW This is strictly 100 words (no more). The idea of the overview is to simply give a brief description of your company 'products & services'. COMPANY LOGO Your company logo must be saved in an EPS format and saved in outlines. Please submit your company overview together with your company logo to Julia Savage - julia@eyefortravel.com as soon as possible but before Friday February 15th at the very latest. EyeforTravel will not be responsible if your logo and overview is not received in time or in the right format. We also reserve the right to change your company overview if it is longer that 100 words. ADVERTISEMENTSThe Show Guide will be produced in US Letter Size (8.5" x 11"), our designer has asked that all artwork be produced to this size. Please supply electronic artwork as a Press Optimized PDF with the fonts embedded. A COLOUR RUN-OUT OF THE AD MUST ALWAYS BE SUPPLIED WITH ELECTRONIC FILES. IF THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE A FAX IS REQUESTED TO MATCH FONTS FOR PAGE LAYOUT. Also note the following: If the advertisement is to cover the overall page, it should be supplied with crop marks and bleed of at least 3mm.
Delivery address for hard copies: Delivery address for electronic files: julia@eyefortravel.com Deadline for receiving artwork is Thursday February 21st If we do not receive your advert by the deadline stated or in the wrong format, we cannot ensure it will be in the showguide. INSERTS FOR DELEGATE PACKSIf you have opted for an insert as part of your Expo package, please note that they must arrive at the venue during business hours by Monday March 3rd at the very latest! If we do not receive the inserts by the date stated and with the attached label, we cannot guarantee they will be placed in the Expo/Conference attendee packs. It is also important to bring the TRACKING NUMBERS with you in the unlikely event a package needs to be traced. If you are unsure whether your package includes an insert then please refer to your contract or contact Eyefortravel directly.
