Vendor Information Page

Last page update: Thursday, May 13, 2004, 5:13 PM

Registration

Sorry, all tables have been sold out and no additional tables can be added. Vendors who have not yet paid for their tables, please send a check payable to "The Society of Fellows" for $650 per table to:

Chris Neidre
The Scripps Research Institute
10550 North Torrey Pines Rd.
CVN-221
La Jolla, CA 92037

Arrival

Please look at the PDF map of The Scripps Research Institute campus. We have arranged for a large white canopy tent near the Immunology Building to serve as the staging area. The SOF will have members at the tent to help with unloading from 7:00 - 9:00 am. Please drop off equipment and displays at the tent first. Because there is no parking available on campus, we have arranged alternate parking at our nearby Science Park campus. After dropping off your equipment, please follow the posted signs and our map to the designated parking area. We have arranged for two complimentary minivan shuttles on a 5-10 minute schedule to drive all vendors to/from the main campus.

Advanced Shipping

If you need to pre-ship items to TSRI, please send them directly to Chris Neidre at the address above. In addition, please send an email to Chris describing the number of boxes sent and expected delivery date. Make sure that all packages arrive on the Scripps Campus before noon on Tuesday, May 18 to allow Scripps shipping and receiving time to deliver the packages to Chris.

Table Setup

Please notify Chris Neidre if you will require electricity by May 10th so we can make sure we have enough extension cords available. The following companies have reserved electricity for their tables:
19 AG Heinz Inc
31 Invitrogen
34 Invitrogen
42 Agilent Technologies
64 MJ Research
95 Research Products Intl.
111 by BioNexus

Each table is 3ft. x 8ft. in size, will be signposted with a table number and company name, and will have two chairs provided per table. Each main area will have two or three SOF members serving as hosts. They will be wearing black polo shirts with the SOF logo (above) and can answer any questions or concerns that arise on the day of the show. All outdoor tables will be provided with a canopy tent, roof, or large umbrella for sun protection.

To view all table numbers and locations, please see the following PDF maps:

Immunology Building and Patio

Molecular Biology (Skaggs Institute) and Beckman Center Buildings

*Please note: Tables 103-108 will be located in the outdoor plaza in front of the Molecular Biology (Skaggs) Building. A PDF map of the TSRI campus can be found here to see the locations of the buildings.

Jamba Juice Giveaway and Gift Drawing Entry

As incentive to have TSRI people visit your tables, the SoF is providing free Jamba Juice smoothies and a drawing to win a $200 gift card to a Westfield Shoppingtown Center for TSRI personnel who complete a Jamba Juice/Drawing Entry form. The forms will be distributed throughout the tables, and each vendor will receive stickers with the appropriate building initials: IMM for Immunology and front patio, MBB for Skaggs Molecular Biology Building and entryway, or BCC for the Beckman Center Building. Show attendees should write your company name down, and have you initial the form and apply a sticker to the appropriate location, depending on the building. There should be a maximum of only 4 stickers of the same building per form. Please encourage the show attendee to visit the other buildings if the maximum has been reached. The stickers may be in short supply, so please share them if necessary. Also, please note that it is in your colleagues' and your best interest to not misplace the stickers.
