Special notes for CTSM Candidates:
If the Sunday All-Day Workshop "Rookie Exhibitors' Quick Start Program: Hit the Ground Running" (S212) is taken, sessions 20618 and 20918 do not need to be taken.

These sessions will be most beneficial if taken in order: 10818 followed by 10918, 20618 followed by 20918, 61018 followed by 61118.

To receive credit on your transcript, be sure to take the quizzes online at www.CTSM.com/quizzes for each of your sessions taken. Quizzes must be taken within two weeks following EXHIBITORLIVE.

Save all of your session handouts. You will need them to prepare for the final exam.

Trade show and event managers who have five or more years of experience are eligible to replace some of the more basic CTSM required courses with elective sessions, with prior approval. Use this form to request approval before registering.

We recommend including session 710, "Preparing, Developing, and Submitting a Quality CTSM Portfolio" as one of your 5 electives.
