LOCATION
Exploration will take place at Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, FL. Agencies and other organizations will have tables in the Veracruz Exhibit Hall. United Methodist Seminaries will have tables in the Veracruz Foyer. There are only 13 spaces in the Foyer to accommodate the 13 UM seminaries.
All table locations will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. The date and time will be recorded as you register ONLINE and we will assign locations based on the order that payments are received.
TABLE FEATURES
Each space will include one 6-foot table covered with basic drapery and two chairs. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in all areas of the Resort. Hardwired connections are NOT available.
Banners are allowed, however, we ask that you respect exhibitors around you by keeping signage within your allocated space in a manner that will not block the view to other exhibitors. One banner per space is preferred. Cloth signs, banners, personalized tablecloths can be draped over or along the front of your table. Exhibitors will NOT be allowed to hang anything on the walls at Coronado Springs Resort.
Please make your spaces awesome but do it in a Christian way.
LAYNARD PINS
Part of the Disney culture is “pin trading“. In 2015, Exhibitors brought die-cast pins for students to collect on their lanyards and trade. We’re hoping you’ll consider offering these again this year.
The pins can be Disney or Exploration-themed. They can be generic pins you already have in stock for prospective students. They can be any size (1-2 inches diameter seems to be the standard). Consider bringing 200-250 pins (fewer than the number of student we anticipate attending). This way, you won’t have to take any back home and you pins will be in demand.
