Your Participation
As a select vendor for Brides 2009, you will have the opportunity to showcase your products and services in unique ways. There will be no rows of "pipe and drape" booths, nor will there be a "trade show" environment.
Rather, envision guests leisurely strolling through the intimacy of the spacious, newly-carpeted and elegantly-decorated TRAC Exhibit Hall in Pasco, appreciating the personal attention of your gracious business representatives.
We encourage your creativity. Please share with us your ideas for unique presentation. We will have rectangular or circular draped tables available as well as plenty of freestanding display space to showcase your products and services. And, we will do everything we can to accommodate and promote your marketing vision. Only one business may be represented for each requested space with a maximum of four vendor passes granted.
We will do our best to accommodate businesses desiring adjoining spaces. In an effort to identify and remove unregistered solicitors, we ask that you operate within your identified location. If you have special marketing needs that require you to roam, previous arrangements are required. We encourage you to register early for your prime location.
Registrations must be received and PAID IN FULL by December 12, 2008. For Exhibitors with unique electrical requirements, an additional fee will be applied. Please contact Imbue via email or phone:
