FAQs Is there a deadline for booking exhibit space? While there is not an actual deadline date to book, we encourage you to do so early in order to secure a spot and ensure your logistical requirements are met. As an incentive for early booking, there are additional savings on the booth rates for those who book by January 1st. Is electrical hook-up included in the booth cost? No. An electrical order form will be made available prior to the show. Are there any other costs associated with participation in the show? Other than booth cost, electrical, parking, and potentially insurance, all other costs are within your control. Items such as signage, floor covering, tables, booth structures, and the like are available from designated suppliers, but you are welcome to bring your own with you. Phone and internet services are available for purchase. Is anything else required to exhibit? Signage indicating your company name and a floor covering are mandatory for all exhibits but not provided. Proof of liability insurance with a minimum of $2,000,000 is required for participation in the Edmonton Cottage Life & Cabin Show. Further details are provided upon booking. When will we receive our booth location? A floor plan will be designed and sent along to all contracted exhibitors once the majority of the available floor space is accounted for. At that time, exhibitors may indicate location preferences, which will be reviewed in the order the application and deposit were received. Confirmation of booth location will be mailed approximately 4-6 weeks prior to the show. Please note, corner locations are reserved for booths of 200 sq. ft. and larger, offered on a first-come, first-served basis, based on receipt of application with deposit. When do we move in and out?
