Before you book

Public visitors can obtain an advance free pass or pay admission at the door. Check current pass, entry and venue rules. Exhibitor registration is separate.

Check the official page for current prices, availability, registration deadlines and what each pass includes. A general entry pass may not cover every activity. Price and professional eligibility are separate: free registration can still require industry credentials.

Bring a useful project brief

Record dimensions, photographs, your timeline and a realistic budget for the project you want to discuss. Ask exhibitors which parts of installation, delivery and cleanup are included in a quote.

Compare equivalent offers

Record the product model, materials, warranty and service area so you can compare like with like later. Request written information and a follow-up contact. Allow yourself time to consider the full scope before agreeing to a project.

Plan demonstrations around your questions

Check the official program for talks or demonstrations that answer your project’s biggest uncertainty. Leave time between stops to photograph displays with permission and organize your notes.
