Still time to register!

Attendee Registration on Whova

EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION

Review the following Exhibitor Registration tips before using the Whova Exhibitor Registration portal for exhibitor registrations:

• Both indoor and outdoor exhibit spaces are available for this conference exposition and are identified individually by location number and exhibit space size. (Overall conference facility map.) Use the Indoor Exhibit Floor Plan and Outdoor Exhibit Area Map to identify specific exhibit spaces, then the active ticket list in the Whova app to identify which spaces are available. Once an exhibit space has been purchased in the Whova app, the ticket for that space will no longer be visible.
• Available exhibit spaces include:
  •  60 indoor spaces at two different sizes: 53 at 10′ x 10′, and 7 at 10′ x 20′, including a folding table and two chairs.
  • 15 outdoor spaces in three different sizes: 1 at 40′ x 18′, 6 at 30′ x 18′, and 8 at 20′ x 18′. The outdoor exhibit spaces surround the Equipment Competition area.
• Click HERE or the image below for an overall map showing indoor and outdoor exhibit area locations.
• Equipment display is welcome and encouraged! There is plenty of space to show off new equipment AND this conference will feature an Equipment Roadeo!
• You can view Currently Registered Exhibitors at any time to see who will be exhibiting in any particular exhibit space.
• All vendor spaces include a folding table and two chairs. Additional chairs for spaces larger than 10×10 will be provided at no charge; additional 8-foot tables are available at a cost of $25 each.
• Electrical service for indoor spaces is available for a $75 charge through SentryWorld. To order electrical service for an indoor vendor space, send an email here. Electrical service is not available for outdoor exhibit spaces.
• Public Wifi is available inside the conference center at no additional cost. 
• Exhibit registration includes one full conference registration for the lead exhibitor. Additional Exhibitors who will attend only Wednesday night and Thursday should purchase an Additional Exhibitor ticket through the Exhibitor portal, which includes the Wednesday night Get Acquainted Party (with food and beverage) and the Thursday exposition, with breakfast and lunch. Co-workers who will attend the whole conference should purchase the appropriate ticket through the Attendee portal.
• The Wednesday night Get Acquainted Party will be held on the exhibit floor and in the event fieldhouse and provides a great opportunity to get to know the conference attendees.
• Exhibitor showcase and vendor educational sessions will take place all day Thursday during the show. If you are interested in giving a 25-minute vendor presentation on Thursday, please respond accordingly to the registration question. If you are interested in giving a 50-minute technical presentation at the conference, please contact Rick Eilertson (spots are limited).
• Several Chapter, Conference and special sponsorship opportunities are available through the Exhibitor Registration portal. Sponsorships provide vital funding for all chapter activities, and especially to allow us to welcome hundreds of public works frontline workers to attend the Thursday exposition without charge, so be sure to invite your local public works contacts or customers to register for free and attend the Thursday exposition. More information about the Chapter’s sponsorship program is available through the Sponsorship Program link.
• All Golf Outing tickets are available through the Attendee Registration portal.
