Since a trade show or exhibition is held for a period of several days or weeks only, an exhibitor's agreement for space at such exhibition would not ordinarily have to be in writing in order to be valid. It is advisable, however, that the agreement be reduced to writing, in order that the rights, duties, and liabilities of the parties can be clearly fixed.
This form is a generic example that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state. It is for illustrative purposes only. Local laws should be consulted to determine any specific requirements for such a form in a particular jurisdiction.
