Exhibitors Welcome

Attendees We expect about 200 attendees for the symposium. About three quarters of the attendees will be from the Chicago area. The Chicagoland area has four major oil refineries with a total feed of about one million barrels of oil per day. We anticipate representatives from these refineries as well as attendees from the local chemical and process industries.

Opening Times The official scheduled times for exhibitors are: 11:45am-1:45pm on October 9, and 12:00-1:30pm and 4:00-5:30pm on October 10. There is a buffet lunch on the first day and we expect attendees to visit the exhibitors as part of this two-hour lunch break. However, attendees will be informed the exhibits will be available for browsing all day.

Location The exhibits will be located in the "Galley", close to the meeting rooms for the symposium, on the east side of Hermann Union Building . See the map under "Location" tab on the symposium web site for the location of Herman Union Building on campus.

Booth Setup and Manning Exhibitors may set up on the first morning after 7:00am. Display tables are standard 8 feet wide although more space between tables may be available. Exhibitors may bring their own displays. See shipping information below. Booths can be left unattended, but do not leave personal items unattended. Also booths may be left setup overnight as the building is locked at night.

Cost and Registration The cost of a booth is $250 both days and includes attendance at the symposium sessions and lunch. To register, follow the instructions on the exhibitor registration form.
