These dates mark the earliest that an application can be submitted by each group. Prospective Exhibitor applications will be given consideration on a first come, first serve basis once all returning exhibitor enlargement/relocation requests have been addressed; the process typically takes about 6 weeks. To ensure you receive consideration for the 2012 MATS, please return your application as soon as possible.
