All previous CanWest Show exhibitors (1998-2008) who did not exhibit in 2009 will be given second priority for booth assignments if their applications and deposits are received by February 1, 2010.
All first-time exhibitors will be assigned space on a first-come, first-serve basis. You are urged to submit an exhibit space contract as soon as possible.
