Special Permissions In the past, display space has been granted to Cokesbury for a bookstore at annual conference. Since Cokesbury is the denomination’s publishing house, they are granted an exception to the stated policy above. Other organizations providing free or reduced fee services to the annual conference session may also be allowed to have display space where demonstrations or product sales will take place. Fees and other financial considerations • Fees for requested use of electrical outlets are paid by the group requesting space. • Fees for requested phone lines are paid by the group requesting space. • Fees for tables and table skirting (if not provided) are paid by the group requesting space. • Please note that in the eyes of the Illinois Department of Revenue and the Illinois Great Rivers Conference there is no difference between selling items and giving away items for a donation. Please do not put the IGRC tax-exempt status at risk by exchanging any goods for money. Publicity A list of all display booths will be distributed in the on-site packet that members receive. Advertisements for display spaces may not be publicized in other printed materials at annual conference.
