Exhibit hours are established by MSCPA. Generally, exhibits will be open during continental breakfast, breaks and lunch, as well as any other hours specifically designated for exhibit viewing. Unless otherwise noted, exhibits may not be open while the conference sessions are in progress.
To maintain the educational integrity of the program, exhibitors are asked to adhere to the exhibit hours indicated. Once conference sessions begin, discussions with participants should be finished and participants should be encouraged to return to the sessions. This will enable conference participants to receive the maximum benefit from both the conference program and the exhibits.

Exhibitors are responsible for setting up and tearing down their exhibits. No assistance will be provided by MSCPA. Exhibitors are expected to set up and tear down their exhibits during the established time periods.
