Nats 2020 & COVID-19 Update
ddoyle replied to LenPilhofer's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention

First, I want to make it very clear that I sympathize with the plight of IPMS, and in particular with the host group.

However, I do have an oversight position with a couple of other international conventions. For one of them, our host hotel is also a Hilton-brand property (as is the San Marcos Embassy Suite), albeit in another town. Here is the key clause for my group's contract: FORCE MAJEURE: Should events beyond the control of the Hotel -

The IPMS website says that the vendor tables are 8 feet by 24 inches, whilst another vendor has told me that they are actually 30 inches wide. Can anyone confirm the actual dimensions? Any help appreciated. Sincerely, David Doyle
