Registration:
Vendors do NOT need to register through the site.  However, ALL attendees must register, so please tell your accounts!  Not only do we have a liability with the open bar & food to control who enters the space, we are sharing sensitive pricing and industry information that isn't open to the general public.  Attendees may register at the door, however this causes a back up at the check in table.  So please encourage them to register beforehand.  There's also a $500 Amex Gift Card being raffled off to all attendees who register before Thursday.

Unloading & Parking:
On the map below I've noted where there's free parking around the venue. You can drive your car up to unload, then street park.  
When you arrive, you will receive your table number.  If this is your first NEOS, set up is usually very simple.  You can unload and stay on the patio area before 8:30, but you can not come into the space until 8:30.

Storage Area:
All of the tables will have full length linens for some storage below your table.  There's also a back room, to the far left of the space where you can store some things if necessary.  This will also be an area where we'll have food available for vendors throughout the day.  You're more than welcome to any of the food, but if you do want to sit in back and relax, this space is for you.

Seating:
We've spaced the tables and doubled the amount of chairs.  There will be 300 folding chairs.  All tables will have a minimum of 2 chairs when you arrive.  The remaining will be scattered so we can share and move them around throughout the day.  Please let us know if you need us to move chairs for you.  To have more than 300 chairs with 60 banquet tables, would get messy.

Parking & Loading Map
Clicking this image will take you to a Vendor Info page on the website that is only available through this link.
 
All map images online of this area are a few years old!!  There is actually more free parking and the area is not as rustic looking as it is in these images.  If you haven't seen the area recently, be prepared to be blown away!
