APPLICATIONS AND PAYMENT<\/h3>\n

Applications must be completed in full and must be sent with the entire payment of fees for the desired space. Applications may be sent by first class mail, fax, or overnight courier (no verbal commitments will be accepted) to the following address:<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pastor A. Quron Hairston, AIM Exhibits Coordinator
\n4304 134th Street
\nLubbock, TX 79423<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n
A minimum deposit of 50% of the total cost of spaces requested must accompany your signed application or it will not be processed. Verbal commitments for reserving space will not be honored. The following forms of payment are acceptable: MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express cards and, certified cashiers checks. Sorry, personal checks are not accepted.<\/h5>\n

<\/h3>\n

ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE<\/h3>\n

Priority for space assignment will be based on the order in which applications are received and availability of space requested. Applications for exhibit space must be completed and payment for the entire amount of your exhibit booth must be received before space is assigned. No telephone requests will be accepted.<\/h5>\n
We will make every effort to assign your preferred booth location (i.e. not located next to a competitor, etc.). If this space is not possible, we will contact you to discuss alternative space. We do however reserve the right to assign the next best substitute space when the requested space is not available. Not receiving your desired space does not constitute grounds for cancellation and you will not receive a refund of exhibit fees. Exhibitors who wish to avoid assignment of space adjacent to that of a particular competitor should indicate such on their application. Careful consideration will be given to all such requests but are not guaranteed. AIM reserves the right to reassign exhibit space.<\/h5>\n
