Invitations will be extended to clinical engineers, medical administrators, biomedical technicians, imaging engineers, health information technology workers and nursing personnel throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, as well as eastern Tennessee and Eastern Georgia.
Rental of booth space which includesadmission for three representatives, one table 6ft. by 2ft., two chairsis priced at $340.00 for 2018 Corporate Members and $425.00 for non-corporate members. Some booth spaces have electrical outlets, while others do not. A preliminary exhibit hall layout is attached. Please visit to register for a booth.

Please note the following expectations for shipping arrangements. Contact the conference center directly for questions related to shipping. Indicate on your packages that they are for the HTMA-SC Conference Exhibit area.
You may pick up name badges and your vendor packet on Thursday evening or Friday morning. We ask that you plan to set up your booth on Thursday evening the 3rd,by 5:00pm. This conference center will be secured at 5 by the William L Yates Conference Center staff. All vendor booths should be prepared for exhibit hall traffic beginning at 7:00am on Friday. We will set up the continental breakfast in the exhibit hall area and encourage the attendees to spend time in there prior to the morning sessions. We have continued with the schedule that will allow more uninterrupted exhibit hall time from 11:15 am to 12:00pm. Booth tear-down is scheduled to begin at 1:00pm, after you join the HTMA-SC for lunch. We ask that you do not begin to shut down any earlier than that, as we have communicated these extendedhours to prospective attendees.
We also ask that out of courtesy to other exhibitors, please ensure your booth fits inside the 6 x 8 space allocated to you, and does not block the access to the neighboring booth spaces. If your backdrop is oversized, please indicate that on the contract so that we can try to place you at an appropriate location in the exhibit hall. We reserve the right to charge for additional space if we are required to rearrange things the day of set-up.
You are a significant part of the conference; and all levels of participation are greatly appreciated. We are seeking presenters for our educational sessions and/or sponsors to help with financial support for presenters or the lunch or breakfast bar. Please contact us if you are interested.
