Roundup 2013 Trade Show

Roundup 2013 will take place Monday, January 28 to Thursday, January 31, 2013 at the Westin Bayshore Hotel in Vancouver, BC. We wish to thank all returning exhibitors and welcome prospective exhibitors to Roundup 2013.

Returning Exhibitors

All 2012 exhibitors (with the exception of the exhibitors who have “Restricted One Year Only” booths) will be given first right of refusal on their 2012 booth space for Roundup 2013. The booth renewal process will begin in the spring/summer of 2012. Renewal forms will be emailed to the booth contact provided. The signed contract and payment must be returned within 30 days to secure your booth space for 2013. Exhibitors must also renew their 2013 Corporate Membership at the same time.

If you are a 2012 exhibitor and plan on renewing your booth for 2013, but wish to acquire additional space/exhibition days, you will need to put your company on the booth space wait list (please see important information below).

If you were a 2012 exhibitor and wish to move to a new location in 2013 with the same number of days, you will need to submit a move request email (with "move request" as the email subject) to roundup@amebc.ca Move requests for Roundup 2013 will be accepted on or after February 13, 2013 (the day the Roundup 2013 booth space waitlist opens)

Please note: Move requests will be considered in the order they are received. The move request list refreshes every year so you must submit your move request every year.
