By popular request, VRMA is collecting vendor preferences for booth assignments. Upon receipt of registration, the primary contact from the supplier company will be sent a Showcase information form. VRMA will make every attempt to accommodate vendors' booth preferences within reason. Assignment priority will be given first to corporate sponsors (Gold, Silver, Bronze), then to conference sponsors, and then according to registration date.

Initial Showcase booth assignments were made for suppliers registered by August 31. After this date, booth space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Annual Conference Showcase will have 10x10 exhibit booths. Each booth will consist of:

• 8’ high backwall and 3’ high side drape in royal blue
• One (1) 7” x 44” one-line ID sign
• One (1) 6’ x 30” skirted table
• Two (2) side chairs
• One (1) wastebasket 

The Showcase diagram and booth assignments are subject to change based on the final number of booths needed. To help determine your booth preferences, please view:

Vacation rental managers attending past events have told us they don’t know what all of the vendors do, so don’t know how to prioritize which booths to visit. New this year, the Showcase Guide will list a short, one-sentence description of all exhibiting companies. This information will be collected on the Showcase information form, which will be sent to the primary contact upon Showcase registration. This information will also be posted online, along with links to exhibitor websites, for attendees to review in advance.

Individual Booth Prizes: All exhibitors are encouraged to provide a prize worth a minimum value of $25 to encourage attendees to visit the showcase and, specifically, your company. Vendors are responsible for collecting participant information, selecting prize winners (however they choose), and distributing prizes. VRMA will collect winners’ names assist with winner notification. If you include your booth prize on your Showcase information form, VRMA will promote it to seminar attendees through the Showcase Guide, signage, and advance promotion.

Passport Prizes: In addition to the individual prizes given by vendors, VRMA will also provide a "grand prize” to encourage attendees to visit all the vendors. Vacation rental managers will be given passports to Navigate the Vendor Showcase and those who visit every booth will be entered for the Passport prize drawing.

The complete Conference schedule will be available soon, but here are some of the highlights for suppliers. The Showcase will be closed during general sessions and lunches; it will remain open during concurrent sessions, but vendors are welcomed and encouraged to attend all programming if they choose.
