Booth/Private Meeting Space Cancellation/Downgrades Policy
All booth cancellations and requests to downgrade contracted booth and meeting space must be submitted in writing. Exhibitors who are unable to occupy and use the contracted exhibit space, should forward this completed form, or letter to the NACDS Exhibits Department. Cancellation form or letters may be emailed to exhibits@nacds.org.
• Upon Cancellation, all complimentary and paid registrations will be cancelled. Paid registrations will be subject to the cancellation and refund schedule outlined in Section I, #4, “Individual Cancellations and Substitutions” of the 2026 Total Store Expo Rules & Regulations.
• Exhibitors opting to relocate their presence into a shared booth more than seven (7) days after contracting their original booth will be considered a booth downgrade and will be subject to the applicable schedule and associated fees.
