Exhibitor Badges
*Please note badges can be picked up during move in at the show office (located in Hall C), and at the box office once the show is open.
All exhibitors need to display their badge on show days to gain admittance to the show floor.
Exhibitors are given an allotted amount of badges to their booth based on square footage (see chart below). No forms or lists of names are needed as the badges are generic. If the number of badges needed for your staff does not exceed the
amount shown below, then simply have your staff check in at the Exhibitor Help Desk during or before the show to receive their badge. If you require more than the allotted amount, please let us know at the Show Office and additional badges will be
provided.
Please note that badges do not display exhibitor or company names on them but there is a space to put your business card in it.
0 - 100 square feet = 5 free badges
150 - 200 square feet = 7 free badges
250 - 300 square
feet = 9 free badges
350 - 400 square feet = 11 free badges
*Each additional 100 square feet gets an additional 2 badges.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BADGES IN YOUR BOOTH as you need them to gain access to the show
floor.
