真挚地，
黛比

供应商申请表如下，但不要错过这一重要信息。

选型信息

供应商由会议委员会遴选。如需申请，请填写以下申请表。要获得参选资格，您必须 包括付款 with your application. If you prefer to pay by check, your booth/s will be reserved when your check is received. Your payment will be reimbursed if you are not selected for the 2027 vendor hall. If you are applying for the first round of selections, complete this application and submit along with payment by October 31, 2026.  后 10 月 31 日, 我们将根据场地情况接受供应商申请，直至名额满额为止。遴选标准将由会议委员会根据产品或服务对在家教育者的益处进行评判。.

展位分配
展位空间主要按照“先到先得”的原则分配。选定的供应商（称为豁免供应商）在供应商提交申请之前可以优先选择展位。可用的展位显示在地图上和“展位：首选”下方。 提交完整的申请并收到付款后，将考虑选择供应商。 我们将尽一切可能满足每个供应商的需求，但我们无法保证您所请求空间的位置或尺寸。第一轮选择将于 11 月进行。在 10 月 31 日之后申请的供应商将在定期做出决定后立即收到通知。

豁免供应商
会议委员会可酌情选择供应商获得豁免资格。获得豁免资格的供应商无需提交申请，并享有优先选择展位位置和展位折扣的权利。.

大学政策
Colleges are given the opportunity to have a booth in the vendor hall. If they are selected for the vendor hall, they will also need to man a free table in the College Fair on Friday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. For this purpose, they have permission to leave the vendor hall booth in order to cover the table in the College Fair. Colleges also have the option of just doing the College Fair, and the cost is $125 (includes a sandwich).
