Who can attend the annaul TODS Meeting and how do I get access?

We restrict access to the Convention Centre exclusively to exhibitor personnel and company representatives that have paid and received confirmation of exhibit space. To protect the exclusive right of our exhibitors to do business, we do not permit registration or access by individuals that are not exhibiting.  

What are the exhibit options?

Display Booth Limitation

If the length of your display, signage etc. exceeds 8 feet in length you cannot turn your display on an angle as that impedes the access and visual of the adjoining exhibits.  We cannot accommodate 10-foot booth displays.  Therefore we will strictly enforce the size of your display and once on site if the size exceeds 8 feet in length we will either have your display reduced in size, by ShowTime Event and Display Services for which you will be charged, or we will move your exhibit to a location at the back of the exhibit hall.

What about Shipping and Receiving?

Shipping of displays, equipment, products and promotional materials

The Delta Grand Okanagan Resort does not maintain exhibit storage space and will not accept any exhibit products, promotional materials, displays or equipment shipped directly to the Hotel.

The Thompson Okanagan Dental Meeting uses ShowTime Event & Display Services for all shipping, storage and displays. Showtime will accept materials, products, equipment, and booth or table top displays. ShowTime stores and delivers your shipment directly to your exhibit location in the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort.

An exhibit manual will be sent to confirmed exhibitors with order forms, regulations and contact details.

 

Hotel Accommodation?

The TODS Meeting Coordinator has reserved a block of rooms at a discounted rate in the Delta Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort. Please visit the hotel section of this website for group rates, booking links and reservation call-in numbers. 

The group rates apply for the dates of the conference – until they are sold out. Pre- and post-meeting dates are offered only based on availability. If you require dates before/after Thursday and Friday night, you may need to book the TODS group rate for these nights and make another reservation at a regular hotel rate. We recommend to call the hotel directly in this case so they may link your reservations.
