Each 10'x10' booth will receive 3 passes to staff your booth on Trade Show (May 7) and 1 pass to participate in the Conference (May 6). The exhibitor fee includes pipe & drape, but does not include electricity, the PNE has a contracted company for electricity that will be billed directly to the exhibitor. Exhibitor set-up will be on May 6 from 3pm - 7pm (after the Conference has closed).
Payment Options
Read very carefully. You can now pay for your 10'x10 standard booth in 2 parts if you register by February 17, 2026.
1) 100% Up-Front Instructions:
If you would like to pay for 100% of your booth up front, you need to manually type in the amount in the “Due Now” box to match the “Total price”. The box is automatically set to be at 50%, and if you do not manually change the amount, you will only pay for 50% and then be required to pay for the remaining 50% + a $50 admin fee 30 days later.
2) 50% Down Instructions:
Exhibitors now have the opportunity to pay for their booth in 2 payments. This option is only available until February 17, 2026. 1ST PAYMENT: 50% is due immediately to reserve your booth. 2ND PAYMENT: the remaining 50% + $50 service fee due 30 days after. This 2nd payment will not be pulled directly, we will invoice you to complete payment. There are no refunds on the first 50% payment if exhibitors decide not to complete the second payment. If the second payment is not made by the 30-day mark, the event organizers have the right to unreserve your booth and sell it to another brand. The box is automatically set to be at 50%, and if you do not manually change the amount, you will only pay for 50% and then be required to pay for the remaining 50% + a $50 admin fee 30 days later.
