Official Expo Hours
  • Thursday, July 17 | 11:30 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Friday, July 18 | 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM
  • 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.​


​Move-In/Move-Out
  • Move-In: Wednesday, July 16 | 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Move-Out: Friday, July 18 | 2:30 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.​

Booth Details
Exhibit spaces are in two sizes:
  1. 10' wide x 10' deep 
  2. 20' wide x 10' deep
 
  • Each space comes with an 8’ high white back wall. Exhibit spaces will also have an 8’ high x 10' 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. (Note that this photo shows a 6.5' deep dividing wall instead of the 10' deep dividing wall between booths that will be at this show.)
  • If you ordered 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.

​Additional Details
Promotions: We’d love for you to promote your participation on social media (Instagram & LinkedIn) and in your email signatures. Find images you can use in this Dropbox folder. You are, of course, welcome to come up with your own images as well.

Booth Bingo: Attendees will be given a Booth Bingo Card that will include every Exhibitor's booth on it. One of our volunteers will provide every Exhibitor a stamp or sticker to use to show an Attendee visited. Those who turn in their completed Bingo Card will be put into a drawing. In the week after the conference, the Committee will draw a winner who will be sent a $100 gift card.

Booth Competition: Attendees will receive a ballot to vote for their favorites in the following categories:
  • Best Overall Exhibit
  • Most Creative Exhibit
  • Most Informative Exhibit
  • Best Hospitality
​
Those who turn in their completed ballot will be put into a drawing. In the week after the conference, the Committee will:
  • Draw a winner who will be sent a $100 gift card.
  • Tally up the ballots and announce the winners.
  • Create an 8"x10" plaque of recognition that we will either deliver or ship to you that you can display in your place of business.
  • Create social media images that you can use to promote your win. 

Lead Capture: We do not have any type of lead capture software, but you will receive a list of attendees with their contact information after the conference is over from Co-Chair Laura McDonald Stewart, FASID. It usually takes a few days to clean up the spreadsheet to get it into a useful format for importing into a contact system. We also recommend collecting business cards in your booth.

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.

​Staff Registration: Each Expo space comes with two (2) Staff Badges, but you MUST register them on Eventbrite. You may purchase additional Staff Badges for a small fee. [NOTE: Your company's primary contact was emailed a promo code in the first half of June to register the complimentary Staff Badges by Co-Chair Laura McDonald Stewart, FASID.]

When you register your Staff Badges you may also register for any or all offerings you want to attend - i.e., the Wednesday Opening Night Party, the Thursday Happy Hour, Pop-Up Talks, and Tours. Visit our Schedule page to find the full line-up of offerings.

Note that you you do not need to register folks who are just helping you
move-in/move-out. They will be able to pick up a temporary badge at Dock 1.

Badge Pick-up: Exhibitor Staff 
may get temporary badges to move-in/move-out at Dock 1 and may pick up their official conference badges at the Word Trade Center front entrance registration desk, as well as the registration desks located in the Interior Home + Design Center and Trade Mart, starting Wednesday, July 16th.
