All badges may be picked up at the Exhibitor Registration Desk.
HOUSING:	Exhibitors should reserve hotel rooms in Santa Clara by contacting the Hotel directly. The Official Hotel is the Hyatt Santa Clara.  Please download information about hotel and rates and make your reservations early since we've reserved a limited amount of specially priced rooms for this first-time event.  The conference rate is $107.00 for single or double occupancy.  This rate is valid for reservations booked in advance of March 1, 2008 (book early since space block sells out quickly).
PARKING:	The Parking Ramp is located immediately behind the Santa Clara Convention Center and provides access to the Convention Center from the second floor. There are 2000 parking spaces in the Ramp and parking is free.
REGISTRATION BROCHURES:	A supply of registration brochures is included with the Exhibitor Services Kit for you to invite your customers to attend the Conference and Exhibition.
STANDARD BOOTHS:	Each standard in-line booth will include an 8' high back drape, 3' high drape side returns and a 7" x 40" company sign.

All booths should have floor covering. Carpet may be rented from the General Contractor through forms included in the Services Kit.
MATERIAL HANDLING:	Read the section on Material Handling carefully. Prices are based on a 100 pound minimum so, it is more efficient to consolidate all of your freight into one shipment, rather than several smaller shipments that could each be charged at the minimum. Exhibits West will accept crated, boxed or skidded materials at their warehouse up to 30 days in advance of set-up. Warehouse shipments should arrive no later than Tuesday, April 10, 2008. Direct shipments to the Convention Center will be accepted ONLY on Thursday, April 24, 2008. Direct Shipments are at your own risk.  Be sure to label your shipment for the Body Mind Spirit Conference and indicate your booth number.
SECURITY/INSURANCE:	The Convention Center maintains 24-hour security for monitoring the building perimeters, parking areas and interior public space. However, neither Show Management, nor its agents, or the Convention Center assumes responsibility for any loss, damage or injury to any property of the exhibitors. Exhibitors must carry liability and property insurance on their own exhibit and materials.
