The pathway to achieving this is to adhere to all Canadian and local government laws, implement appropriate health and safety measures in consultation with healthcare authorities and experts, and apply best practices as required at the date of the in person event.

All PDAC 2020 exhibitors will be given priority to book booth space before applications open to new exhibitors. As we are limiting the number of booths on the show floor during this transitional year, we cannot guarantee that an exhibitor will be able to book the same exact booth they occupied at PDAC 2020. When PDAC goes back to a full capacity in person event, PDAC 2020 exhibitors will retain priority renewal status over the booth space they occupied at PDAC 2020.

The exhibiting company on record must occupy the exhibit space and be figured prominently at all times. Exhibitors may contact PDAC to apply for an official name change if they wish to change their name on file. PDAC does not permit double listings or sub-listings for exhibitors with fewer than four booth spaces. If the company on record is found subletting or reselling, they will lose priority renewal for PDAC 2022 and going forward.

Specific details will be confirmed in November. Please stay tuned for updates.

Pass type inclusions and fees have not yet been posted. They will be published to the Registration Fees page of the convention website in October.
