I have sent in my contract. When will I receive confirmation of my booth assignment?
Contracts, completed and submitted with proper deposit, are assigned in date received order. Booths are generally assigned within 7-10 days of receipt. If the contract is incomplete or does not include the appropriate deposit, 75% prior to May 16, 2011 and/or total due after July 15, 2011, processing of the booth assignment will be delayed until all info is received. Once a booth has been assigned, the exhibitor will receive an electronic confirmation of their booth number. The virtual floor plan is updated daily and is the best resource for checking availability and recent booth assignments. View the floor plan

Is it too late to contract booth space?
Exhibitor applications will be accepted through show opening, or until the show floor has sold out. Space is assigned on a first come, first served basis; show management strongly recommends application submission as soon as possible to maximize location options.

I have not sent in my contract because I need to know if the booth I want is available.
Contracts are received and processed daily; therefore, booth availability is constantly changing. The virtual floor plan includes the most current information for booth availability. However, SCTE cannot guarantee a booth shown as available on the virtual floor plan, will remain available at the time your contract is processed. SCTE encourages you to make (6) six booth selections, preferably in different areas of the show floor, in choice order. SCTE will not hold space without a completed contract and proper payment.

When will exhibitor information, such as hotel, badges, be available?
Exhibitor information will be included in the Exhibitor Forms package, available May 2011. Once contracted, you will receive your exhibitor login and password via e-mail so you can easily enter and manage your badges online.

When will convention center services (booth furnishings, electrical, phone, computer rental,       cable drop, etc.) information be available?
These services are ordered via the Service Order Kit (SOK) provided by Freeman Decorating Company, the official general contractor for Cable-Tec Expo 2011. Contracted exhibitors will receive the SOK in August 2011.

Where is the main entrance to the exhibit hall?
For Cable-Tec Expo 2011, access to the show floor is through hall entrance B2. Registration is currently slated to be in front of Hall B2.

How many badges do I receive?
Your company is allotted five complimentary exhibitor badges for each 100 square feet of booth space occupied, up to a maximum of 150. Exhibitors exceeding their allotment are charged $30 per additional badge. If your company is an Expo Partner you also receive a minimum of two complimentary full registration badges, transferable within your company. Complimentary full registration badges must be accompanied by an exhibitor name badge. Full registration badges include the General Sessions, Workshops, Exhibits, Show Bag, Expo Awards Luncheon, Expo Evening, Technical Proceedings, International Cable-Tec Games, and Arrival Reception. Please refer to the Badge Policies, available online or in the exhibitor forms package.

When do I receive my badges?
Exhibitor badges are available for pick up on site at the Georgia World Congress Center beginning noon Sunday, November 13. Show management will not mail badges prior to show opening. Exhibitor badges should be picked up individually by the attendee, identification may be required. Complimentary Full Conference badges must be picked up by the company's onsite contact for distribution to personnel.

Meeting space will be confirmed within 14 business days after the September 30 deadline on the request form. Written confirmation will be sent to the contact noted on the original request. Onsite service providers will be copied on the confirmation and will contact you to review requirements (e.g. catering, set up, audio/visual, telephone/data lines).

Are shuttles available from the hotels to the convention center and to Cable-Tec Expo events?       Where do I access these? How often do the shuttles run? How much does it cost?
