Exhibitor Check-In: Wristbands for ALL Exhibitors and Attendees
You and your guests don’t need to pre-register. All you’ll need is your business card, and you can exchange it for an exhibitor’s wristband when you arrive.
Booth Design, Accessories, and Information
Booth location and numbers are based on your registration date and will be assigned when you arrive.
Booths are 8’ deep X 8’ wide and include “rod-and-drape” construction in the back and on the sides. The backdrop is 8′ tall and the sides are 3′ tall. (IMPORTANT: We have been notified by the third-party-company providing the rod-and-drape that some booths may not have side rails. All booths will have a backdrop. This will be determined on the date of move-in.) You may hang lightweight signs or banners from the rod at the back of the booth.
The booth includes a 6′ x 2′ skirted table covered with a white plastic tablecloth, two chairs, a wastebasket, and a white paper sign with your company name. (You can view pictures of typical booth setups here.)
To comply with fire regulations, nothing may be placed in, or extend into, the aisles. “Roof” or covers are not permitted above or over your booth.
No amplified music and sound is permitted in the booths.
Please bring any required fasteners or other hardware. If you need additional accessories (e.g., tables, chairs, lighting, linens, etc.), please contact Theresa DiJoseph at GES at TDiJoseph@ges.com or (775) 332-7042.
Please note that the Exhibit Hall is NOT secured and that you should NOT leave any valuable or equipment unattended. Neither the Reno Public Market nor NCET provides security for the booths.
Food & Beverage Give-Aways
We’ve seen lots of changes in local, county and state food & beverage rules, so please review this document if you’re interested in providing edible handouts.
Booth Electrical Outlets
Electrical outlets are spread throughout the mezzanine. You must email Sarah@NCET.org if you want power, and we will place you in a strategic location. You must bring your own extension cord and power strip.
Food Service
Luckily, this year’s Expo location is a food hall! Please consider supporting these small business owners, and purchasing lunch and/or dinner at these fine establishments.
General Information
Do NOT break down your displays before 6:00 PM. We expect heavy traffic at the end of the workday so any tear down activity will disrupt the other Exhibitors and Attendees.
Attendees: We expect approximately 1,000 attendees. We recommend 300 to 400 handouts depending on the material.
The Expo Attendees are generally small business owners; employees; or people interested in starting a business.
