Don’t miss the 29th Quiet Adventures Symposium! This year’s slogan is “Connect with Adventure”.  The event promises to be bigger and better than ever as we bring you the best outdoor gear, demonstrations, exhibits and speakers found anywhere. Register now if you wish to connect to an audience that may, again, exceed 2,300 outdoor enthusiasts!  Here is the latest list of Exhibitors!

Please review the information below prior to beginning the registration process. 

The online registration process requires contact information and the type of organization being registered. QAS will not publish contact information. If your organization does not have a name enter your last name plus the word Exhibit (ex. Smith Exhibit). Sponsors who need a booth or booths should register here.  The registration site works best with the GOOGLE CHROME search engine.  While the Late Registration pricing is now in place, we still have booths available. 

Exhibitor Packages

QAS values each of our exhibitors and what they bring to the event. We have developed exhibitor packages for five types of exhibitors requesting booth space:  commercial, non-commercial, demonstration, appreciation, and sponsor. Please choose one of these packages when registering for your booth space.
 

Exhibitor – Commercial Package (early registration through January 20, $175/space - late registration through February 3, $225/space):  In general, if you are not a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization and you sell something at the show or after the show to people you meet at your exhibit, you are a commercial exhibitor. The exception is those exhibitors who are involved in fundraising to support a cause or charity. They are non-commercial exhibitors.

Exhibitor – Non-Commercial Package (early registration through January 20, $30/space - late registration through February 3, $45/space):  All non-commercial exhibitors are those involved in education, conservation, historic preservation, tourism promotion, or event promotion. Examples are clubs, non-profits, educational groups, youth groups and sales of goods to support a non-profit group.

Demonstration Package – Selected exhibitors may spend the day demonstrating skills. Contact EventManager@QuietAdventures.org to find out if your booth would qualify for a discount for the Demonstration. Usually these are booths in the Arena with boat building, fly tying, etc. 

This year exhibitors proposing a demonstration have the option to submit a proposal on the Proposal Form for a QAS Demonstration space.  The spaces will be in the Arena or the Exhibit Area on raised platforms or specially designated areas.  Demonstration exhibitors  selected will be eligible for free booth space and two free event entries. A schedule with times and places for demonstrations will be posted and made available to attendees. QAS Demonstrations should share knowledge that attendees can use to better enjoy non-motorized, outdoor recreation. They must be presented live and use props, or the actual materials involved. Official QAS Demonstrations will be selected from the submissions.

Appreciation Exhibitor Package – A complimentary registration is offered to a symposium speaker as recognition of their contribution. It includes one booth space and two complimentary event entries. It is also available for symposium financial sponsors and to working partners who help make the event possible. All requests for the Appreciation Exhibitor Package must be approved by the Event Manager at EventManager@QuietAdventures.org.

Sponsor Exhibitor Package – Select this package to sponsor a show venue. Please see the numerous options at QAS 2024 Sponsor and Exhibitor Opportunities Bulletin.

Booth Space
Please select the number of booth spaces you wish to purchase. The rates listed reflect the cost for one booth space. Charges apply for each additional booth space. Booth spaces on the concrete floor in the Exhibit Area are 10 feet wide on the aisle side but can be 10 or 15 feet in depth. Spaces on the dirt floor in the Arena are 15 feet by 15 feet.
 
Booth Location
We will be using a first come, first served method for assigning specific booths, considering expressed preferences where possible.  Please review the zones on the Exhibit Floor Layout. Identify your first and second choice zones by letter (rather than a specific booth location). Provide additional information in the text field about your preferred booth location including  other exhibitors you’d like to be nearby. We cannot guarantee the requested zone will have spots available when your registration is received. We will work to make sure your booth location is great for you and your exhibit. Space assignments will be made by the Event Manager the week of January 8, before late registration begins and penalties are imposed for withdrawing from the Symposium.
