Subject: [nfbmi-talk] Exhibit Hall Table Location and Info

We now have a description of the exhibit hall. As for Michigan, after 
entering the hall, make a left and walk toward the east wall. Once you 
reach it, you'll be at the front of that row of tables which goes along 
the wall, starting with D1. NFB of Michigan is D12, so a slight way down 
the row, past American Printing House and next to Leader Dogs.

Following is the complete hall description from the latest NFB convention 
bulletin.

> Exhibit Hall Overview
> The exhibit hall space, including the NFB Independence Market and free 
> literature
> display, is located in the Convention Center, West Hall Section WA1, Level 
> 2.  The
> space is a long rectangle. The entrance at the front of the room is on the 
> north
> wall.  Exhibitor tables are located along the west (right) and east (left) 
> walls
> (placing the exhibitors' backs to the walls).  The tables along the west 
> wall are
> Row A.  The tables along the east wall are Row D.  There are two large 
> squares (actually
> rectangles) in the center of the room.  These are called Square B and 
> Square C.
> Square B is closest to the north wall and the entrance. Square C is 
> directly past
> Square B and closest to the Independence Market.
> The NFB Independence Market is another square set of tables in the south 
> end of the
> room on the west (right) side, and directly down the large aisle that 
> passes between
> the squares and Row A.  The free literature display is a square of tables 
> in the
> south end of the room on the east (left) side, and down the aisle between 
> the squares
> of tables and Row D.
> Each exhibitor table has large-print and Braille numbers and table IDs 
> that identify
> the exhibitor.  Table numbers can be found on both of the front-most 
> corners of each
> table, and the table IDs are located in the front-most center of each 
> table.  The
> exhibiting sponsor tables are located towards the front and right side of 
> the hall.
> The NFB information table is the first four tables in Row A.  The 
> restrooms are located
> on the north wall.  The women's room (RR-W) is in the northeast corner of 
> the room,
> to the left of the entrance doors as you enter.  The men's room (RR-M) is 
> in the
> northwest corner, to the right of the entrance doors as you enter.
