QUESTION #1 - What Determines Who Gets Accepted to Be an Exhibitor?
Basically, any group or individual that maintains a product or service that we feel would have a benefit to the attending patrons of the Nationals would generally be accepted to attend, space available. Exceptions to this would be those groups that are offering a product that we feel is already well represented at the Nationals, or groups that plan to offer products that are not allowed (see item #2 below).

QUESTION #2 - What Does My Booth Cost for Everything Listed Above?
There are two prices for the Standard Vendors/Exhibitors for the upcoming Raider Nationals event:
    - $100.00 - Standard EXHIBITOR (a group or entity that does not SELL anything on site).
    - $250.00 - Standard VENDOR (a group or entity that SELLS products, services or frankly anything on-site*.

QUESTION #3 - Where at the Event Do I Get to Set-up My Booth?
Virtually every vendor/exhibitor is placed in the Nationals Vendor Village. The Nationals Vendor Village is a huge exhibit area within a large roofed pavilion located at a major crossroads near two large event areas, team photos and a major bathroom across the street. All event traffic must pass through the Nationals Vendor Village to compete in their cycle of the event. In designing the Nationals Vendor Village for visual impact and appeal, we also feature dramatic larger U.S. Army exhibitors that will draw cadets into the village, along with ensuring that every exhibitor is of potential interest to our cadets and other spectators. It is always very busy.

QUESTION #4 - Do I Need To Pay a Percentage of My Sales to SNI or the Venue?
No, not unless you are specifically identified to do so during your registration process (this is VERY rare).

QUESTION #5 - What About Sales Tax on my Gross Sales - Who Do I Submit That To?
It is the responsibility of every vendor maintaining sales to fully understand what is required by the State of Georgia Department of Revenue. Here is the link for what you need to know about sales tax collection for sales in Upson County, Georgia for out of state itinerant vendors.

QUESTION #6 - When Can I Set-Up My Booth? How Long Are People Around?
Exhibitors should have their booth set-up done soon after sunrise on the competition Friday. You can set-up on Thursday if you wish as we will be in the camp. The event starts just after Sunrise on Friday but opening your booth at 8am both days is a good call. Most people go until at least 5pm to get the rotation of all the cadets in front of their booth. Exhibitors MUST have their booth load-out completed by noon on Sunday.

QUESTION #7 - Are there Any Other Restrictions I Should Be Aware Of?
While it is almost impossible to list out every action or behavior that would be prohibited, some of the more common items not allowed are:
1. Exhibitors cannot alter their scope of their agreed upon good/service/information (i.e., to promote a different product or service upon arrival)
2. Exhibitors cannot sublet or share their space with another individual, group or company without the express agreement of SNI
3. Exhibitors may not "roam the venue" - you must stay behind the table of your space
4. Exhibitors cannot build-up their booths to a height greater than 10’ without submission of designs and requisite approval in advance.
5. Exhibitors may not utilize any props or other eye-catching displays that place at risk any surrounding exhibitors or those passing by. All such displays must be static and behind/on theit table.
High-speed internet hook up, additional meeting space, etc. are NOT available. NOTE: AT&T cell service is very spotty but Verizon is strong. Meal-plans are NOT available but a small concession store is located just up the past about 1/4 mile walk.

QUESTION #8 - What Items are Not Allowed to Be Displayed/Sold - EVER!
The following items are NOT PERMITTED anytime. Other items may also be banned but these are NEVER allowed:
 1. Functional guns of any kind (competition air rifles or similar are however perfectly acceptable).
