Note: Specific rules, deadlines, and pricing must be confirmed in the official Exhibitor Service Manual and order forms issued by IDDBA, the official general contractor (usually GES), and the venue.
1. Pre-Show Preparation & Registration

Booth pricing is based on square footage, with additional fees for corner booths or premium locations.
Some pricing and eligibility requirements depend on IDDBA membership status.
Exhibitor Badges
All booth staff must be registered and wear official exhibitor badges.
Badges are typically charged per person.
2. Logistics & Shipping
Shipping Destination
Exhibitors can ship materials to:
Advance Warehouse (recommended for international exhibitors), or
Direct-to-Show Site during official move-in dates
All shipments must be labeled with:
Exhibiting company name
Booth number
Show name
Move-in date
Incorrect or early/late shipments may incur additional charges.
Material Handling (Drayage)
Material handling includes unloading, delivery to booth, empty crate storage, return of empties, and reloading after the show.
Charges are based on weight (per 100 lbs / CWT) and are mandatory when using the official contractor.
