Changes for 2021 and Reminders

Changes for 2021 – Live

The Covid-19 epidemic requires we modify our usual practices and reduce capacity limits to ensure everyone’s safety. The League will update as protocol restrictions are hopefully eased. 

• Face to Face Networking – Attendees will have dedicated time on schedule to visit your booth. 
• Floor Plan – Attendee meals and vehicle displays have been removed from the expo hall. See website for updated diagram.
• Booth Location - Locations may be seen in real time here. Locations are subject to change based on updated Covid-19 requirements.
• Staff - Booths include 2 live registrations per booth. Includes lunches and Welcome Reception tickets. NEW a third live person may be addded to the in person booth online. $95 plus meals. Main Street booths are still limited to 2 booth staff.
• Monday and Tuesday Lunches - Exhibitor meals will be delivered to the Exhibitor Lounge.
• Hours - In-person booths must be staffed during expo hours on Monday and Tuesday (10 – 4 pm both days).
• Move-in - Booth set up will be Sunday afternoon, June 27, between 12 noon and 4 pm. Tear down will not begin until 4 pm (tentative) on Tuesday. June 29. 
• Access to Sessions - Exhibitors are welcome to attend conference sessions, workshops, and events within the convention center. Exhibitors are welcome to attend the Welcome Reception on Sunday evening and to purchase tickets for the Closing Reception Tuesday evening.
• Attendees - Due to reduced capacity limits, attendance is currently limited to 600 attendees plus exhibitors. Attendees will be split into two groups. While one group in session the other half will be in the Expo hall. As restrictions ease we plan to increase attendance.
• Appointments - Appointments to meet with attendees are not needed. Everyone is free to explore the expo hall and engage with attendees and exhibitors same as in past years.
• Vehicle and Equipment Displays – All display vehicles and equipment will be located outside the convention center in the front parking lot. Vehicles and equipment that will easily fit within your booth space along with your booth staff and display, may be located inside the exhibit hall.  MML must be notified in advance to ensure your equipment will have access to your booth space. There is no additional charge for equipment located within your booth.
