Get Familiar with New Exhibitor Portal: Exhibitor Resources Centre­

IAAPA recently changed contractors for exhibit management so you may notice a new look and feel this year. A few items to note:

• The Exhibitor Resource Centre (ERC) is where you will submit all the compulsory forms due to IAAPA including Booth Layout, Audience Participation Safety, and Sustainability forms.
• The ERC contains a unique checklist for you to keep track of all the show deadlines so you can keep track of what has been submitted and upcoming/past deadlines.
• Once Exhibitor Registration opens in June, you will need to login to the ERC to have access to register your on-site team.
• You will make any final booth payments within the ERC. Once your booth is fully paid and Exhibitor Guest Registration opens, you’ll be able to begin inviting your customers to attend the expo for free.
• Only the primary contact has access unless they add additional contact(s) to have access. The primary contact can visit the Exhibitor Resource Centre (ERC) to login now.
• Each IAAPA Expo is separate, so if the primary contact added additional contacts for one of the other expos, they will need to add them through the IAAPA Expo Europe portal as well. 

If you have trouble accessing the ERC or any questions about the new platform, please contact [email protected].
