Badges

Types of Badges

Exhibitor Badges

Exhibitor badges provide access to the exhibit floor during all move-in, show day, and move-out hours. Upon request, a QR code with visitor credentials can be added to an exhibitor badge allowing lead retrieval systems to capture the registrant’s contact information and demographics.

Exhibitors should order exhibitor badges for employees, independent contractors, or manufacturer’s reps that plan to work in their booth during the show.

Booth personnel should be advised that their exhibitor badge identifies them as accredited members of the exhibiting organization and provides extended hours of admission to the show floor. Exhibitors should respect these privileges and the fact that discarded or lost badges can be misused in the wrong hands. The improper use of these badges makes it more difficult to protect intellectual property, products, and exhibits.

Visitor Badges

Visitor badges only provide access to the exhibit floor during the open hours of the show. They include a QR code - containing the visitor’s contact details and demographic information - that can be read and recorded by an exhibitor’s lead retrieval system.

Set-up & Dismantle Wristbands

These colored wristbands are good only for set-up and dismantle periods (a different color is used each day). Wristbands can not be used to get on the exhibit floor during open hours of the show and should be used for independent contractors or employees only helping to set up an exhibitor’s booth. Wristbands can be requested from security onsite beginning Feb 6.

Ordering Badges

Advanced Online Registration — Free

Deadline to have badges mailed in advance: Dec 9 (international mailing)/Jan 10 (domestic mailing)

Advanced registration allows exhibitors to order badges for their booth personnel and make changes and additions to existing registrations until the time they arrive on show site.

Exhibitor badge mailings will begin in November and continue through Dec 9 (international mailing) or Jan 10 (domestic mailing). Badges requested after those times will be available to print onsite. There will be no charge for pre-registered personnel. Starting on Feb 9, there will be a $10 fee for each new registration.

Onsite Exhibitor Registration — $10/badge

Booth personnel can be registered onsite for a $10 fee per person. This fee will not apply to replacement badges or badge corrections.

Independent contractors and manufacturer’s reps may only be issued exhibitor badges onsite if they are accompanied by an exhibitor and are scheduled to work in a booth during show hours. It is advised that exhibitors preregister everyone scheduled to work in their booth.

Adding Visitor Credentials

Exhibitors who wish to have a QR code on their exhibitor badge that enables them to scan their contact details in lead retrieval systems should have “visitor credentials” added to their exhibitor registration. This can be done by selecting the appropriate option during the initial registration process or logging back in and editing registration information.

An exhibitor may also register as an attendee to receive a separate visitor badge. Visitor registration is free of charge online through Feb 8. There is a $30 fee starting Feb 9 for onsite visitor registration. Visitor badges requested after Dec 9 (international mailing) or Jan 10 (domestic mailing), will not be mailed but can be printed at a visitor registration kiosk.

Obtaining Set-up & Dismantle Wristbands

Set-up and dismantle wristbands will be available onsite from show security beginning Feb 6.
