Exhibitor Services Hub now in GATEWAY Hall! A Convenient One-Stop-Shop For all Onsite Operations Needs.
In a concerted effort to provide exhibitors with a convenient one-stop-shop for your onsite operations needs, SEMI has consolidated all exhibitor related services for the North and South Hall, into one central location. The new Exhibitor Services Center will be located in Gateway Hall, where you will find the vendor services, Security office, the Show Management Office, and the 2009 Space Selection Office. (Please note that the Exhibitor Services Desk for the West Hall remains on West Hall – Level 3.)
Priority Point System—Standardized Across the board
In an effort to streamline SEMI policy across our SEMICON Expositions for our exhibitors, SEMICON West will begin awarding additional priority points for the size of the booth space. Beginning 2008, primary exhibiting SEMI members will now earn 1/4 point per each 100 sq. feet of booth space contracted, in addition to the 1 point for participation. This new point structure will be accounted for when the SEMICON West 2009 space selection appointment times are processed.
