How will the rebooking process for EFA Expo & Conference 2021 change?

The cancellation of our 2020 event means we will not be able to carry out onsite sales appointments as planned. Instead, the same process will be followed via phone or e-mail appointments scheduled in advance.

All 2020 exhibiting companies will receive an email with a link to book for EFA 2021, which will include appointment date and time
Exhibitors will need to make sure a company representative is able to discuss booth placement opportunities during their scheduled date and time over the phone and also be able to secure a $250 deposit with a credit card or ACH payment
Your account executive will discuss 2021 booth location options, as well as how to apply payments made for 2020 in 2021
Once a contract is signed, all 2020 payments will be credited towards your 2021 booth
If you decide to not exhibit in 2021 after the contract is signed, a $250 deposit will be retained, and the remainder will be refunded
If a company does not want to contract for 2021, a full refund of your 2020 EFA payment will be issued
Refunds will be issued, however based on the number of exhibiting companies please be aware this is not a quick process, but it will absolutely happen and we ask for your patience

Our official show vendors will be canceling all orders and will be reaching out to you in the next few weeks regarding credits or to finalize billing.
