Payments
CBIE accepts payment by VISA, Mastercard, cheque, and wire transfer. Payment instructions can be found in the payment portal.
Additional Space
This year CBIE is offering sponsors and exhibitors the opportunity to purchase additional booth space at a 50% discount, subject to availability. We encourage you to purchase additional space when you purchase your booth.
Exhibitor Portal
Logistics, inclusions, and information are all coordinated via the Exhibitor Portal. Once you are a confirmed exhibitor or a sponsor, you will be sent an Exhibitor Portal welcome email with login instructions.
Exhibitor Tasks
Exhibitor Tasks are listed and can be completed within the Exhibitor Portal. These tasks allow exhibitors to submit to CBIE the necessary information to promote each organization. Failure to complete these tasks by the deadlines may result in a delay or your entitlements being unfulfilled.
Graphics and Logos
Sponsors are required to submit logos and ad graphics to CBIE via the Exhibitor Portal. Please ensure you submit your logo and graphics as PNG, EPS or AI.
