Trade Show Booth Space

Convention dates
PDAC 2011 will be held March 6-9 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building.
 
Booth rentals – Trade Show and Investors Exchange

• Booth application forms and floor plans for PDAC 2011 will be available for downloading from the PDAC website beginning at 10 a.m. EST on Thursday, July 22, 2010 for both new and renewing exhibitors.
• Application forms will only be mailed upon request. NOTE: Downloading the booth rental information from the convention website will be quicker than waiting for the application form to arrive by post.  Applications will be mailed no earlier than July 22, 2010.
• We do not take payment for PDAC 2011 until booth rentals begin on July 22, 2010.
• We do not have a waiting list for PDAC 2011 (and we do not keep a “rolling” waiting list from PDAC 2010)
• Exhibit fees for PDAC 2011 will be posted on our website in late-June 2010.  Please note that exhibit fees for PDAC 2011 will be adjusted from PDAC 2010 pricing due to the introduction of the “Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)”of 13% effective July 1, 2010.

Renewing Exhibitors
 
For PDAC 2011, renewing exhibitors from PDAC 2010 have priority renewal on the booth space they occupied at PDAC 2010.  It is the exhibitors’ responsibility to complete the renewal application form and return it with payment before the priority renewal deadline. The priority renewal deadline for the Trade Show is September 3, 2010. If you are a renewing exhibitor who wishes to relocate and/or expand your booth space, please note we take these requests from renewing exhibitors on a first-come, first served basis (based on the time & date the application is received), beginning July 22, 2010 at 10 am EST (subject to availability).
 
Potential New Exhibitors
 
Once priority renewal booth assignments have been completed, all un-renewed booth spaces will be assigned to new exhibitors on a first-come, first-served basis (based on the time & date the application & payment was received), beginning July 22, 2010 at 10 am EST. It is very important to ensure your application form is returned with payment as quickly as possible. Please note that this is not a guarantee that your wishes can be met but we will certainly do our best to facilitate your request when it is received (subject to availability). If your company is applying as a new exhibitor for PDAC 2011, your booth rental payment will not be processed until we are able to secure a booth for your company. New exhibitors will be contacted sometime after October 4, 2010 offering your company a booth space at the PDAC 2011, or to notify you that your company will remain on the waitlist (should a booth space becomes available leading up to PDAC 2011).
