Payments can be made by check (in U.S. funds, payable to Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics). Payments via credit card will be processed directly through the secure payment link that is provided in the application confirmation.

Exhibit Space Applications must be accompanied by a deposit payment equal to 50% of the total booth space cost with total balance due on or before April 15, 2025. If balance is not paid by deadline, the Academy has the right to cancel exhibitor’s contract and release such space for resale without refund of deposit. Applications submitted after April 15, 2025, must be accompanied by payment in full. Exhibitor is not confirmed until payment is received and application approved.

Cancellation of space must be received in writing to Show Management at FNCE@CorcExpo.com. If exhibit space is reduced, the net reduction of space will be treated as a cancellation of that space. Exhibitors who cancel on or prior to April 15, 2025, are liable for 50% of the cost of booth space. No refunds will be issued for cancellations after April 15, 2025, and companies are liable for 100% of the booth cost after this date. No exceptions will be made, and money cannot be used for any other purpose.

The FNCE^® Expo is open to exhibitors whose products, programs and services relate specifically to the food, nutrition, and dietetics profession. All first-time companies are reviewed by FNCE^® based on the Academy's Exhibitor Eligibility Guidelines. Once approved, an invoice will be sent.
