Use the exhibitor registration form. One registration covers the NW show, the NE show or both. You choose your booths, add your exhibiting staff now or later, pick any advertising, agree to the terms and pay.

Yes. We email your main contact a personal link that opens the form with your company details already filled in, so you can review them and go straight to booth selection. No link? Start the form and enter your email: we’ll send you a code to bring up your saved company profile.

Yes. Choose the NW show, the NE show or both when you register.

Booth prices are shown in the registration form when exhibitor registration opens. See what’s included in a booth.

By credit card (a 3% processing fee is added), by ACH bank transfer (no fee), or by wire transfer or check: choose wire/check and we’ll email you an invoice with the payment details.

Your booth fee is fully refundable for five business days after you submit your registration, counted from the day you register, not the day your payment arrives. After that, no refunds are issued.

Suppliers who want to attend without exhibiting need a non-exhibiting supplier ticket ($2,000 per person, subject to approval). Soliciting attendees or exhibitors without one isn’t allowed.

Our team assigns booths in December and January and emails your booth confirmation. Your booth number then appears in your exhibitor portal and on the exhibitor lists.

When you register, tell us whether you’d like to keep your previous booth, move to a different location or have no preference, and list any booth preferences. We do our best to accommodate every request.

Yes, as long as everything fits within your booth and follows the show policies. Moving equipment isn’t available at either venue, so bring or rent your own.

Exhibitors must use the contracted decorator for show services such as freight handling, furnishings and electrical.

Shipping is your responsibility and at your cost. Use the show decorator’s advance warehouse: shipping addresses and labels come with your FERN (NW) or Capital Conventions (NE) exhibitor information closer to the show.

Each booth includes 4 exhibiting staff. You can add up to 2 more per booth at $250 each. More than 6 per booth needs another booth (or non-exhibiting supplier tickets).

You can add your staff when you register or later in the exhibitor portal. Please have your list complete by early to mid February. Online additions close shortly before each show; after that, contact us.

Yes. Everyone on the show floor needs their own registered badge. Your staff’s badges are ready at your booth on the morning of the first show day. For changes on site, visit the registration desk at the entrance.

No. Badges can’t be shared, and anyone may be asked to verify their identity. Badge sharing can lead to removal from the show.

Yes, for attending staff of exhibiting companies. Email us and we’ll send you a form to fill in and return. Please allow one week per batch of requests.

In the exhibitor portal: your company profile (up to 100 words), logo, website and up to 5 product tags. Your listing appears in the online exhibitor list and the printed show directory. Please have it complete by early February; the directory goes to print at the end of February.

Yes. The portal’s Marketing Tools give you ready-made graphics with your company name and booth number for social media, email and your website, plus a ready-to-post message you can share on LinkedIn.

Submit your latest innovations in the portal under Materials & Services. We highlight exhibitors’ new materials to the designers and developers who follow the show. You can also take part in The Studio, our Future Materials Showcase, when you register.

Email campaigns, website banners, full-page directory ads, pop-up banners at the entrance, and sponsorships such as parking, coffee and lunch, the show bag and the NW reception. Add them when you register, see them in the Advertising tab of your portal, or email mtrlshow@americanevents.com.
