What happens when my badge is scanned at the Show?

When Show Management* scans your badge, your personal information is processed pursuant to Show Management’s legitimate interest in tracking attendance, traffic flow, and providing a better Show for attendees. By allowing vendors/exhibitors to scan your badge, all registration information you provided to Show Management during the registration process is shared with them. Vendors/exhibitors may then contact you regarding their goods or services. Please review their privacy policies for additional information. If you do not want to share your information, do not permit the vendor/exhibitor to scan your badge. If you do not want to receive communications from a vendor, you must contact that vendor/exhibitor directly.

Exhibitors

In order to qualify to hang a sign, your booth must be 20’ x 20’ or larger and may not be a linear booth. You must complete the Hanging Sign Design Notification Form and submit a rendering or digital photo of the sign showing all graphics, placement above booth, and dimensions, including width, height and circumference. Hanging signs may be hung at any height; however, the sign itself can be no more than 8' in height from top to bottom and must be finished on all sides. Freeman is required to hang all hanging signs and it is recommended that you ship in advance to ensure the sign is assembled and hung in a timely matter. Please note that Freeman costs for hanging a sign are incurred at both installation and dismantle so budget accordingly.
