If it snows, we will need to stop all vehicles outside to get the snow and ice off, especially from around wheel wells, to avoid mud puddles in the event space.
Here is the Exhibitors and Sponsors Bulletin with basic information on what is available, deadlines and costs.
The FAQs document gives information to assist you in preparing for the registration process and other details. Also, see details below and in the Registration process.
Sponsorships/advertisements:
Sponsorships are closed and deadlines have passed for advertising in the Brochure. Come back next year!
Exhibitors:
Please see the FAQs for exhibitors for more information on booths, deadlines, and costs. Note that some things did not automate well in our system; administrators will revise invoices as needed. Registration is currently in the late phase.
For those who have unpaid invoices, $15 administrative late fee will be added when paying at the event. We will take cash, credit card or check at the event upon entrance.
Door prize raffles:
We encourage all exhibitors to donate to the door prize raffles. Every person entering gets a door prize tickets and additional tickets can be purchased at the door or at the raffles desk on the day of the event. Attendees love taking home their prizes and you can provide those memories. For items worth more than $100, please check in with us. For smaller items with <$5, we reserve the right to bundle. If you are interested in sponsoring a Grand Prize Raffle item at a future Symposium, please send a message to eventmanager@quietadventures.org.
Badges:
In a change from previous years, we will give each exhibitor "Exhibitor" badges for you to fill out with names and organization for booth staffers. These badges will be in your Exhibitor packet at Check-in. There will be as many badges as indicated in the records.
Refunds and Late Fees:
Full refunds will be issued for cancellations completed by January 15, 2026. Cancellations completed between January 16, 2026 - February 15, 2026 will receive 50% refund. Cancellations after February 15, 2026 will not be eligible for refunds. To cancel and request a refund, send an email message to Exhibitor@QuietAdventures.org .
As of Feb.15, 2026, there is a $15 late payment fee for invoices that are unpaid, as was noted in our Brochure. Payments at the event will include this fee.
We will be verifying that all discounts with sponsorship on booths and attendance get reflected in your booth registrations, as that part was challenging to automate.
Graphics:
All graphics for sponsorships and advertising must be submitted by February 2, 2026 to media@quietadventures.org .
Lodging:
We have arranged a block of rooms at the local Candlewoood Suites: $99 for an efficiency and $129 for a one bedroom, plus taxes, etc.
