Stand sharing is available at a premium of 20 per cent on the cost of participation.

Please note that the participation fee does not include international or domestic travel, accommodation, subsistence or freight, except where stated.

There has been a significant increase in participation fees in Kota Kinabalu due to inflationary rates charged for the hotel venue, printing of materials, and advertisements. Due to increases in fuel prices in July 2008, most vendors took the opportunity to also increase their rates, citing fuel prices as a justification. Despite the recent fall in fuel prices, vendors have not reflected this in their prices.

The participation fees stated above incorporate a 'credit crunch' contingency and are the maximum that participants will be charged. If this additional contingency is not called upon, participants will be invoiced for less than the maximum fee.
