Exhibitors are REQUIRED to stay within the official room block to ensure that we meet our commitment. To secure the amount of meeting and exhibit space required to hold our meeting, TPMA must guarantee our exhibitors and attendees will occupy hotel rooms. If we do not meet this guarantee, we incur financial penalties that will in turn increase the cost for exhibitors as well as for our attendees.
