Exhibitors,

We are so excited to have you all be a part of Upstate Homeschool Expo 2024!
Without your participation, this event would not be possible!  We hope this day is a blessing to exhibitors, and the homeschooling community alike.  Below you will find important information, & policies, to help make this a successful event for all.

Date: May 18, 2024
Expo Floor Open: 11:00AM-4:00PM
Address: Todd Dining Hall, North Greenville University, 7801 N Tigerville Rd, Travelers Rest, SC 29690

Exhibitor Set up: Check-in will begin at 9:00 AM. This year your expo table spot is first come, first serve.  You may pick your favorite spot when you arrive.  Exhibitors will be responsible for their own set up as there will not be enough Upstate Homeschool Expo volunteers to help with set up.  Please arrive no later than 10:15 AM to be set up to begin promptly at 11:00 AM.

Table Dimensions: 6 foot by 30 inches.

Table Staffing: Tables should be manned for the duration of the Expo, aka no packing up and/or leaving early.  If you need a special exemption to this, please talk to expo staff first.  There is room for 4 of your staff members, at most, behind each table.

Clean-up: Exhibitors are responsible for removing all materials and leaving their spots as they found them. Clean up should be completed and all exhibitors should be out of the venue by 4:45PM. Late departure may incur additional fees as dictated by the venue.

Responsibility: Exhibitors are ultimately responsible for their display and materials. Upstate Homeschool Expo, a Homeschool Community of the Upstate event, and the venue assume no responsibility for losses and damages to property or person. Consequently, exhibitors should take reasonable precautions, including insurance, to protect their property & themselves.  Exhibitors are responsible for their own health, behavior, and safety, and that of anyone they bring with them.

Display Terms & Conditions: Exhibitor spaces are for one exhibitor only. Exhibitors may not share space. All exhibitors must be invited by the Upstate Homeschool Expo organizers. All materials and displays should be family friendly, and apolitical: determining if a piece of the display, or item, fits those requirements will be left to the discretion of Upstate Homeschool Expo organizers, and any materials deemed in violation must be removed immediately upon request of organizers.  Candles, helium balloons, birdseed, bubbles, glitter, rice, confetti, scent diffusing, and fog are prohibited. Hanging, tacking, pinning, or taping anything to venue wall is strictly prohibited.  No signs may be hung on venue property (walls, railings, etc.), only from exhibitor tables, or as free-standing signs brought by exhibitors. Free standing signs may not be large, and need to fit right beside, or behind, exhibitor table. If you're concerned your sign may be too big, please contact organizers to check.

Additional: It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to be fully familiar with these rules and regulations and to see that each member of the company attending Upstate Homeschool Expo 2023, either as an exhibitor personnel or registrant, or both, is familiar with these rules and regulations.

Cancellation Policy:  Please keep in mind that families attending the expo are counting on your attendance. Many of them have elected to attend based on specific groups they would like to connect with. If for some reason, you cannot attend, please try and cover your spot with someone else from your group. If that is not possible, please contact the event organizers as soon as possible, so that attending families can be updated. Due to costs incurred by the venue, no refund can be given for cancellations. If event organizers have to change the date of the expo, refunds will be made available. While the Upstate Homeschool Expo organizers will use reasonable efforts to maintain the location, dates, times and floor plans of Upstate Homeschool Expo, the organizers reserve the right to change any of these at any time and for any reason whatsoever without liability.
