12th Weber Symposium Exhibits
Information for Exhibitors
The purpose of exhibits at the Weber Symposium is to further the education of the registrants by presenting information, products, or services relevant to the theme of the symposium. The exhibits must be of an educational character and emphasize instrumentation, products, or services directly relevant to the interests of the symposium participants, i.e. teaching, research, or directly convey scientific research findings in those areas of science represented by the symposium theme.
Exhibits will be on display throughout the symposium. The exhibit area is directly adjacent to the main lecture hall, in an area immediately next to the meeting room, in the same room as the coffee breaks and poster sessions. Participants will pass through exhibitions to enter the lecture hall. Ample time will be provided for all to visit the exhibit booths and posters.
Platinum Sponsorship ($5000 or more), Gold Sponsorship ($2500) and Silver Sponsorship ($1000) may exhibit. Please contact the symposium administrator for registering your exhibit and additional representatives. The registration deadline is May 1st, 2025.

Space Assignment
Exhibit spaces are assigned by Exhibit Management. Space assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. Whenever possible, space will be allotted according to the exhibitor's choice, but the final arrangement will be determined by Exhibit Management in such a way to produce the most advantageous grouping. The symposium and the hotel will have no liability if the location assigned is not as requested. Applications for space must be received by May 1st, 2025, in order to be listed in the program. A brief description (approximately 50 words) of the products or services to be displayed in your exhibit area must also be submitted (see exhibit application). This information will be published in the program.
Location Relative to Other Exhibits
Exhibitors may use the exhibit application form to request their preference for location near other companies or their wish to not be adjacent to or opposite designated companies. These requests will be honored to the greatest extent possible in conjunction with assignment priorities and requests for specific locations on the floor.
General Conduct of Exhibitors
The following are prohibited:
Noisy electrical apparatus or other mechanics, flashing lights, music, sounds, or gestures that would interfere with other exhibitors or that would disrupt the symposium at anytime.
Removing or adjusting any lighting or electrical connection that is not connected specifically with your exhibit.
Entering, photographing, videotaping, or examining another exhibitor's equipment without permission.
