A few things to note for Veteran nonprofits interested in attending:

• You must register for a space (a "ticket") and provide your 501C3(C4) documentation for non-profit organizations. You will be provided with more details on how to do this during checkout.
• After completing all required verification, you will receive an email from the event director confirming your booth space location, setup information, and any final details needed for the event.
• Each approved organization will be provided with a 8' W x 6' D booth space at the event. The City will provide one table and two chairs for your organization, but if you need anything else for your display, you must provide that yourself. This could include but not limited to: your organizations' signage, informational handouts, SWAG, table covers, etc.
• Spaces will be randomly assigned.
• Booth spaces must remain staffed by someone from your organization for the duration the event (10am-3pm). An unattended booth reflects poorly not only on your organization, but also on the City; If your booth is found to be unattended, you will not be asked back to City events and activities.
• Electricity is not guaranteed for any booths. Due to risk of tripping, you CANNOT run extenstion cords across walkways or behind other booths.
• If your nonprofit is non-compliant, League City reserves the right to decline your application to attend the Veterans Expo.

Event Times:

• Booth Setup: Sunday, November 10, 2024 from 10:00am-11:00am
• Event Time: Sunday, 11/10, 11:00am-5:00pm; Monday, 11/11, 10:00am-2:00pm
• You have the option to set up ONLY on Sunday 11/10 or you can stay set up for Monday's free luncheon as well.

If you are a citizen planning to attend, you DO NOT need to register to attend. Just mark your calendar, and we will see you on November 11th!
