  • Exhibit Space

  • Please provide the exact Length and Width you would like you exhibit space, we will try our best to accommodate
  • Please enter a number from 0 to 999.
  • (Please note all furniture and tent/canopy for the outside exhibit will need to be provided by you.)
  • - If people can walk up, and it takes no more than 10 minutes to make your item, and someone guides them through, then we would run this at your exhibit space, and 1-5 people can do this at a time. (Option One) - If you instead have a “teaching/formal” style format to instruct people how to do it, and it takes 20 minutes or longer, and you would show a large group all at once how to make your item, then this is when we will put you in workshop rooms. (Option Two) - Workshop rooms are in a classroom style format. Including a screen/projector at the front, and group working tables. - If you are more (Option Two), then essentially, there are two ways the exhibit can be set up. - Option A. You only want to run the workshop once. Then you would be set up in one of the workshop classrooms and scheduled to run at a particular time. The same space would be used for other exhibitors running a workshop. As such, you could run your workshop once, and we would schedule you for a time in the workshop classroom, or you can run 2, and we can schedule you for two sessions in the workshop classroom. - Option B. If you want to run the workshop multiple times, and too large groups all at once, then we would set up in your own designated workshop classroom, and you could run sessions back to back. The number of sessions you run would be based on workshop delivery time and set-up/reset time. - Note: Each workshop classroom can seat 60 people, so at a maximum of 60 per session, although assuming you might have a family of 4 sit in, take four seats but build 1 item together, you might only have 15 in a session. But some of the family may also stand in the room, or you could get two kids making one, just one parent and one kid making one together, or even a couple making one together or separate etc. Or the room might not be full. On average of 20-30 people would be in a session.
