- Quarter Page Advertisers = 16 Comp Passes (per booth)

*Comp Passes Distribution
Comp passes may be distributed to customers of your business who are legitimate buyers from food service or lodging establishments. Please do not distribute them to: vendor-type business people, friends, family or other non-hospitality related associates. To protect your investment and that of your fellow exhibitors, we only allow professionals who own, operate or are employed by licensed food service or lodging businesses to attend the show.
Additionally, please do not distribute these passes to those who will be staffing your booth. We provide exhibitors with staff badges at no charge. Email us with the names of those staffing your booth by clicking here.
