How do I become an exhibitor at the convention?
Once you complete and submit a booth space application with a deposit, the Exhibit Manager will review your application. Based on the locations you have requested, and the spaces that are currently available on the floor plan, the Exhibit Manager will determine the best possible location. Payment will be processed and a confirmation will be sent to the exhibit contact listed on the booth space application. This process takes approximately 1 week.
What is the deadline to submit an application to exhibit?
There is not an official application deadline. All space is sold on a “first come, first served” basis until the show is sold out. We encourage all exhibitors to turn their application in as early as possible to secure the strongest possible location and to allow ample time to market your company prior to the convention.
Am I allowed to share booth space with another company?
Only companies that have a legal agreement outside of the event permitted to share booth space.
