I echo Devon's comments about contacting the nominated person who is handling the exhibition room. It's important to let her know what to expect in advance.
As someone who had that responsibility for the 2005 convention in Denver, I needed to know what I had coming in and how much lace from each person so that I had an idea in advance of how many tables I might need from the hotel, and how I was going to place it/display it - I kind of had a rough plan in advance, which I ended up changing up a little on the fly as I set the room up, but I had an idea to work from. Some had special requests for their displays, and I was able to (I hope) fulfill those requests - I know I worked with Alice in OR, to have a vase for her gorgeous lace roses, and also one for LizL (from Oz) for her fantasy flowers, and we also had a wonderful miniature house and vignette I guess you'd call it, from one of our members (her husband did the miniature, and she made the flanders lace drapes for the house - it was fabulous). It also meant that I could do the courtesy of making little name tags for each person, so people knew who's lace they were looking at. Most importantly, it meant that at tear down time, I could match lace with each person and be sure that none was missing and that the correct pieces went back to their owners. I would contact the person in the Bulletin, and then have a great time enjoying having your work on display along with that from other lacemakers. Enjoy convention.
