Guidelines for Exhibitor Workshops

1. M&M does not contract space for vendor-sponsored workshops. Individual exhibitors must contract for space directly with the venue. Use of meeting rooms in nearby hotels, rather than the convention center, is strongly encouraged. (Please note – for M&M 2018, no rooms are available for booking at the Baltimore Convention Center.)
2. Booking a vendor-sponsored workshop in an offsite venue reduces the chances of a competing vendor (innocently or otherwise) sending an observer to listen in.
3. No vendor-sponsored workshop/tutorial/public lecture/seminar etc. may be scheduled to compete with any official M&M events, including: symposia, workshops, award ceremonies, poster presentations.
4. Available times for vendor workshops:

   Mon-Thu:
   Before 7:30 AM
   12:00-1:30 PM
   After 5:30 PM

   Saturday:
   All times are available

   Sunday:
   All times are available

5. Vendors are encouraged not to topically compete with Sunday Short Courses and/or any Pre-Meeting Congresses. Please refer to the “Scientific Program� area of the M&M 2018 website for program details.
6. M&M does not advertise or take reservations for any vendor hosted events. All arrangements and costs associated with the event, including room rental, signage, audio-visual, internet, food & beverage, etc. is the responsibility of the vendor. A vendor may use their own booth space to take reservations or to advertise for these events.
