Please select ‘Combined Booth’ under the ‘Type of Booth’ section of the application, then in the next section, select ‘Option B (No, please pair me with one!)’. If your application is successful, we will pair you with an international exhibitor.
The cost of the booth is S$672.00 if I choose to be an Adopter. Is this to be shared among me and the Adoptee?
