Expo Badges / Exhibitor Registration Info

• Registration includes complimentary access to the education conference program for exhibiting IAAPA members. Non-members can pay US$449 per person to attend the education program.

• All special events including breakfasts, lunches, and receptions are ticketed events with a separate registration fee. Exhibiting members receive discounted pricing. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited. 

• Special event tickets are ticketless and tied to the badge registration. Therefore, one ticket per person, per event. Tickets for IAAPA Celebrates and the Women in the Industry Networking Lunch can only be purchased by/for IAAPA members and cannot be purchased in bulk. Contact [email protected] with any special needs. 

• No one under the age of 18 can access the show floor during move-in or move-out, even if registered as an exhibitor.

• Do not register non-exhibitors or EAC staff through the Exhibitor Registration site. IAAPA will charge a US$150 penalty per exhibitor staff badge used by a buyer. Use the Exhibitor Guest Program to invite current/prospective clients to attend the trade show free. EAC's must register through the EAC Registration site and use wristbands to access the exhibit hall during move-in and move-out.

• Log in to your Exhibitor Resource Center and click the Register Now! button under the Exhibitor Registration section.

• In your Registration Dashboard, click on the Registration button at the top of the page.

• Register an individual or import a list to register multiple people. If you import a list, you can purchase special event tickets for specific individuals by clicking on the Modify button next to each registrant.

• Provide the required information. Pay close attention to the sample badge to ensure all information that will print on the badge is correct.

• Purchase any upgrades and/or special event tickets. Please note that tickets for IAAPA Celebrates and the Women in the Industry Networking Lunch can only be purchased by/for IAAPA members and cannot be purchased in bulk.

Registrations can be modified or deleted by clicking on the Modify button next to the individual registration in the Registrations list at the bottom of the screen.

Badges are picked up on-site. Refer to the registration confirmation email for further instructions.

• Attending Special Events is a great way to network during the expo. Tickets to Special Events can be purchased through Exhibitor Registration. Events can sell out quickly so purchase your tickets as early as possible.

• Please note that tickets for IAAPA Celebrates and the Women in the Industry Networking Lunch can only be purchased by IAAPA members and cannot be purchased in bulk so they must be assigned to individual registrations.

• Registration will be located on Level 2 of both the North and South Concourses.

• One person may collect badges for the entire team, but will be required to provide a picture identification AND a company business card.

• We highly encourage you collect your entire team’s badge by 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 17.

Move-In
Exhibitors have the option to wear wristbands to access the show floor prior to registration opening and can request to have them mailed in advance based on the parameters below.

• Exhibitor wristbands may be worn during move-in instead of their exhibitor badge through Sunday, Nov. 16.

• Wristbands are not valid on the last day of move-in, Monday Nov. 17, and all exhibitors must have their exhibitor badge to access the show floor on this day. Please be sure your on-site staff is aware of this so there are no delays accessing the floor on Monday.

• Exhibitor registration opens at 12 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15 after which exhibitors can pick up and wear their exhibitor badge to access the show floor.

U.S. based exhibitors can request to have wristbands mailed to you in advance by completing the Exhibitor Move-In Wristband form in your Exhibitor Resource Center no later than Oct. 10. Wristbands will be mailed via regular U.S. mail the week of Oct. 13. It is not necessary to request wristbands in advance. International companies and companies that miss the deadline may pick up wristbands on-site at the IAAPA Security Office in Room S213 on the second level of the South Concourse beginning Thursday, Nov. 13.

Exhibitors may not access the show floor prior to Saturday, Nov. 15 unless they have been assigned a Targeted Move-In Date.

Move-Out
Wristbands for move-out are only needed for those staff that were not registered for the show and do not have an IAAPA Expo Exhibitor badge. All staff participating in the move-out will need either an Exhibitor badge or wristband to access the show floor.

EAC Wristbands
EAC staff should order wristbands through the EAC Registration site and pick-up the wristbands daily inside the labor entrances of the North and South Buildings. Exhibitor move-in/out wristbands should NOT be ordered for or given to EAC staff.

For safety and security concerns, non-exhibitors are NOT permitted to access the show floor during move-in and move-out. Exhibitors that provide wristbands to buyers or EAC's will receive a $300 fine and/or loss of seniority points.
