It's been a number of years since our group hosted IOLI so I may not be remembering correctly. However, I think we had a very small charge, like $3.00, for public visitors who wanted to shop. People had to have a nametag to enter the vendor's hall. The charge covered the nametag. If they took a class or two that day, then there was a one-day registration fee. The exhibit hall was open to any visitor. That I know because I was in charge of it, and we did not check for nametags when people came in.
If the conference guidelines do not specify rules, then the hosts can probably do it however they wish. There's usually a very small number of public visitors that day so it isn't a major problem. Alice in Oregon -- where we had one day of sunny, but chilly, spring - then back to rain for the next week.

The mini-registration fee usually is only necessary if signing up for a class on that day. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
