As an exhibitor, how do I register for badges?
Exhibitors can register for badges through the Exhibitor Resource Center. Click on the tile that says “Registration” within your dashboard. Registration is through our vendor, Compusystems.
Registration opens in Spring 2025.
How many badges do I receive as an exhibitor?
Exhibitors will receive an allotment of complimentary badges. Exhibitors receive 5 badges for every 100 square feet of rented exhibit space with a maximum of 150. Approved co-exhibitors will need to split badges with their primary exhibitor and are not eligible for their own badge allotment. Additional exhibitor badges may be purchased in advance for $25 per badge. The badges will increase to $35 per badge onsite. Exhibitor badges should be used for all personnel from the exhibiting company (booth staff and non-booth personnel).
When can I move in/out?
Each exhibiting company is assigned a target move-in and move-out date, which is the date an exhibitor’s freight is scheduled to be delivered to their booth or loaded out. To find your targeted move-in date/time, check the color-coded map in the online Exhibitor Service Manual which will be available in the Spring.
What are the target move-in & move-out dates?
Each exhibiting company is assigned a target move-in and move-out date, which is the date an exhibitor’s freight is scheduled to be delivered to their booth or loaded out. Dates are determined based on the booth size, location and time allotted for access to the hall. The larger the booth and the farther the booth is from the freight doors and to freight aisles, generally the earlier an exhibitor’s target move-in date will be.
Adhering to the target move-in date is vital to allow all exhibitors accessibility to their booths and to guarantee the show will open on schedule. Off target move-ins will incur a charge. Find your target date by viewing the targeted floor plan.
Please email exhibit@printingunited.com if you need to work late.
Exhibitors must be set and in place by 5 PM on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
** PLEASE NOTE (New this year): Advance warehouse shipments will be the same price as direct to show site. Machinery, uncrated items, oversized crates and single pieces over the weight of 5,000 lbs. cannot be accepted to advance warehouse and should be shipped directly to show site. If needed, split your shipment and send as much as possible to the advance warehouse to have your freight in your booth on your target date and time.
