Dale, There is a reason that you were offered exhibitor space this year. The NAMES show is being held in HALF of the Southgate Civic Center this year. Last time NAMES was held there, they had the whole building and still ran out of space. This year they are unable to accommodate all the vendors who wanted space, so allowing you to be an exhibitor instead makes room for one more vendor.
Be prepared for self service if you need power. The exhibit floor has only a few outlets at the perimeter and none overhead like Cabin Fever. The place was basically designed as a sports arena. I would recommend coming prepared with something to plug into the outlet and create more outlets to share with others, a long extension cord, duct tape, and if you have any, one of those flat rubber bumpers designed to run a cord across an open floor where people walk. Oh, and a UPS for the computer might be wise.
