IS YOUR BOOTH 400 SQUARE FEET OR LARGER?
Deadline: September 4
If your booth is 400 sq ft or larger, you must send an Exhibit Space Design Notification and an exhibit floor plan to Show Management. This can be hand-drawn with basic booth components, including hanging sign components, display fixtures sizes and vehicle placements. Please complete the form no later than September 4, and e-mail a copy of your floor plan to jpressman@ConvExx.com or fax it to 702/450-7732.
HANGING SIGNS
Exhibitors that have a hanging sign in their booth must complete the Hanging Sign Design Notification. It must include the height and width of the sign, the number of sides, exact location of where it will be hung over the booth, and sign graphics located on the sign. When shipping your hanging sign, it must be shipped separately from your booth using the Hanging Sign Shipping Label provided by Freeman. Shipping separately is less expensive and will help Freeman hang your sign in a timely manner.

HAVE YOU REGISTERED YOUR BOOTH PERSONNEL?
Exhibitor Registration is now open! Don’t forget to register the people who are going to staff the booth—they will need a badge. Registration is available by CLICKING HERE. Free badges are available to exhibitors based on the size of their booth. Additional badges required over the allocated amount are $25 per badge. Exhibitor registration onsite is $25 per badge, regardless of any remaining allotment.
Unique individual e-mail addresses are required to complete registration for booth personnel. In order to receive a badge, each registrant is required to confirm their e-mail address once registration is complete. If the e-mail is not confirmed prior to the badge mailing, the badges will be held for pick up at the Show.
If you did not receive your exhibitor registration password via e-mail, please contact customer service at SEMA-Reg@convexx.com or call 702/450-7662, ext. 120.
