Exhibitor FAQs

Exhibiting companies should ship their materials to the Advance Warehouse when possible, as this will ensure that the materials are delivered to their booths at the start of set-up. Advance Warehouse deliveries should not arrive before May 5, and should not arrive later than June 4.

Details on where to ship and the labels to use are available in the Exhibitor Show Services area here.

If exhibitors are unable to ship far enough in advance to ship to the Advance Warehouse then they need to ship directly to the Hickory Metro Convention Center for delivery ONLY on June 9-10, any shipments delivered prior to June 9 will be turned away as our General Services Contractor setting up the show will not be at the building to receive any shipments.

Details on how to address and where to deliver materials directly to the show set-up at the Hickory Metro Convention Center, along with labels to use, can be found in the Exhibitor Show Services area here.

WiFi access must be purchased from the Hickory Metro Convention Center Services and can be ordered in advance at a discount or purchased onsite.

You are able to rent lead retrieval systems from our registration company, which enables you to easily collect data on attendees in your booth who agree to let you scan their badges.

Please Note: Show Management never sells our attendee data, so if you are approached by any companies claiming to be able to sell you our attendee data, pretending to be show management, they are criminal enterprises trying to steal your money, under no circumstances should you respond to these solicitations
