Online Registration Form
(if not a member of VRA use the "enter email address" box to access form.)

Exhibit space will not be confirmed without receipt of payment on or before that date.

This fee entitles the exhibitor to a listing in the exhibitor directory to be part of the final conference program, and access to a central posting board to advertise special product service demonstrations. Separate arrangements will need to be made with the hotel for the table set up, the electrical connection and internet access (if needed).

Registration also includes full conference registration for each exhibitor and all additional booth personnel. Any events that require additional fees, such as tours, workshops and certain special events will still require these extra fees to be paid.
