On the page with more details about conventions[2], it allows the rebate for "a non-resident exhibitor of a foreign or domestic convention" So the "foreign convention" description doesn't prevent exhibitors from claiming the rebate. That restriction only applies to a sponsor or organizer. For people who may only be eligible for a small rebate, maybe they would want to simply donate all their rebates back to a non-profit trust organization if there is somebody who can do the paperwork?
