2025 Sunscreen Symposium^TM FAQ's

Exhibitors:

• Booth space is 10' x 10' and comes with one 6' draped table, two chairs, one wastebasket and an identification sign; the back of the booth is an 8' drape and in between booths the drape is 3' in height.
• Crown Sponsor will select the location of their booth space, followed by Diamond Sponsors (in the order that payment was received). Next, Sapphire Sponsors will select their booth space location (also in the order that payment was received). Platinum Sponsors will be assigned a premium location by the FLSCC board. Non-Sponsor Exhibitors will also be assigned booth space by the FLSCC board, in the order that payment is received (i.e., you will have a better chance of securing a more premium location if you secure your exhibitor space early).
• Requests to have booth location adjacent to a specific company will not be guaranteed unless both companies are sponsors with location selection as one of their amenities (Crown, Diamond, Sapphire). 
• It is very likely that exhibitor space will sell out, and also likely (based on 2023 trend data) that this will occur during early registration. Once exhibitor space is sold out, we will go on a wait list. 
• Exhibitors may display quickscreens / pull-ups inside the designated booth space. We ask that these items be confined to inside your booth space and not block the aisle space or the view to another exhibitor's booth space.
• Additional information regarding other booth customization options and shipping information will be provided by the exhibitor services company (Freeman) once the floorplan is completed.
• Exhibitor tabletops should be set up during Wednesday afternoon in advance of the welcome cocktail reception, when exhibitor booths will be open.

Poster Presenters:

• Abstracts for poster submissions will open in the Spring of 2025
• All poster presenters must be registered attendees of the Sunscreen Symposium^TM
• Poster boards are 8' in length and 4' in height; the usable pinning size is 94" x 46.6"
• Poster presenters are responsible for printing and bringing posters; push pins will be provided
• Posters should be set up during Thursday afternoon in advance of the welcome cocktail reception, when the poster session will be open
