SPACE LOCATIONS
Can sellers request specific locations on the Show & Sale floor?
Sellers’ Tables will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Proposed floor plans are included with the contract and posted here. The RWCS reserves the right to re-arrange the floor layout to increase the number of available spaces. Every attempt will be made to try and maintain Seller-requested neighbor sellers.
Can sellers request to be near or away from another seller?
Yes, there is a space on the contract to indicate what exhibitors you would like to be near or away from. The RWCS office will use this as a guideline for your table location at the 2023 Show and Sale. The RWCS reserves the right to re-arrange the floor layout to increase/decrease the number of available spaces. Every attempt will be made to try and maintain Seller requested locations as close as possible to their requested neighbor.
