EXHIBITING
Booth Sales Window:
February 3 at 8:00 AM through June 30 at 5:00 PM or when booth spaces sell out, whichever comes first.
Location:
The Expo will take place on the 11th Floor of Dallas Market Center's World Trade Center building. We do not expect to have a floor plan until May.
Official Expo Hours:
- Thursday, July 17 | 12:30 PM - 5:00 PM (might change slightly during the planning process)
- Friday, July 18 | 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM (might change slightly during the planning process)
- Note that you are absolutely welcome to staff your booth starting as early as 8:30 AM each day, but you are only required to staff your booth during the official hours shown above.
Booth Details:
Exhibit spaces came in two sizes:
- 10' wide x 10' deep
- 20' wide x 10' deep
- Note that if you need more space than a 10'x20', you may purchase multiple booths and we will place them together.
- Each space comes with an 8’ high white back wall. Exhibit spaces will also have an 8’ high x 6.5' deep white side wall between them and an adjacent exhibitor. Spaces at the end of a run will only have a 8’ high x 1' deep open stabilizing wall, so they will be visually open. If you want to hang items off of the walls, each 10’ run will hold about 25 lbs. Find an annotated photo showing the booth walls HERE.
- If you order 1-2 chairs and/or a plastic covered 72" x 30" table when you submitted your Exhibitor Form, then those items will be in your booth on at the beginning of Move-In day. For those who ordered tables, we HIGHLY recommend that you bring your own tablecloth to drape it as the plastic cover is not attractive.
- Exhibit spaces do not include flooring. You may either bring your own flooring or order through GES. (Flooring is not required, but it is encouraged for the comfort of your staff and visitors to your booth since the Expo floor is concrete.)
- Exhibit spaces do not include electricity, but if you would like to order electricity, you may do so through GES. You may also order furnishings through GES if desired.
Move-In/Move-Out:
- Move-In: Wednesday, July 16 | 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
- Move-Out: Friday, July 18 | 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
- Exhibitors must use Dock 1 to load into/out of the freight elevators.
- You may use your own workers to load and unload your truck, move items in and out with man-powered dollies, and set up and dismantle your exhibit space. However, if you require the use of pallet jacks or any kind of motorized equipment, then you are required by Dallas Market Center to hire GES to operate that equipment for safety reasons.
Additional Details:
Food & Drink: You are more than welcome to bring little candies, mints, branded cookies, and the like to hand out at your booth; however, if you want to serve drinks - both alcoholic and non - in your booth, then Dallas Market Center requires you to order through Levy, the official facility caterer. If you would like to order anything, you may contact Michael Como, Levy Director of Sales and Catering.
