There is a complete list of “Exhibitor Benefits” shown here.

You MUST assign your booth staff names in order to retrieve booth staff badges onsite.

The 2026 Call for Presentations opened on July 29 2025 and closed 9/9/25. 

We are not able to get your presentation in our schedule after this deadline. It is strongly recommended that when you complete your evaluation form and are asked if you would like to be a presenter for the following year, you indicate this to us and check our website often during the fall for information and updates on the Call for Presentations. 


Once you are a confirmed exhibitor, you will have access to the online Exhibitor Service Center. From this resource and planning module, you are able to gain access to the Exhibitor Manual, provide booth staff registrations details, view and track payment history and pay invoices, add sponsorships and advertising, keep track of deadlines, provide your booth profile, and download pre/post Conference attendee registration lists.


Capture each potential lead with a simple scan of an attendees badge without worrying about losing business cards or important information discussed. Lead Retrieval is now used through an app you can download to your phone and allows you to retrieve the data in excel format for follow up after the show.

Lead Retrieval information can be found in the Exhibitor Service Center.


Yes, all individuals registered as booth staff will be offered lunch in the expo hall on both days of the expo. Lunch will be available to exhibitors 30 mins prior to the hall opening on Monday & Tuesday. 


GES is available in the hall and will have a booth in the back of hall for questions. You can always stop by registration for assistance if you cannot locate a GES representative. We’d be more than happy to assist any way we can.


Marketing

You are entitled to FREE listing on the official conference website, and the conference mobile app; however, to receive this free listing, you must complete your online profile along with your products/services checklist via the Exhibitor Service Center (ESC). The sooner you complete this online form, the sooner you begin receiving visibility. 


The Exhibitor Service Center will allow you to download a pre/post Conference registration list in a .pdf format (available at *pre-determined dates). Contact details are not provided due to privacy laws (GDPR Regulations).

Please note: IPMI does not ever share e-mail attendee or member lists with third-party organizations. If you get solicited, it is fraudulent.


Policies

All requests for cancelation or reduction of exhibit space must be made in writing and shall become effective upon receipt by IPMI. Due to the difficulty of determining and detailing the losses which would result from cancelation of exhibit space, the Exhibitor agrees to pay the following as liquidated damages (and not as penalty) if the Exhibitor cancels its exhibit space. In the event of cancelation by an exhibitor prior to March 20, 2026, IPMI will retain or shall be owed a cancelation fee equal to 50% of the total exhibit fee (not just the deposit) plus a $250 processing fee; if received after March 20, 2026, IPMI will retain or shall be owed a cancelation fee equal to 100% of the total exhibit fee.

Cancelations after March 20, 2026 will affect your Preferred Exhibitor status. Reductions or downsizing in booth space will be treated as booth cancelations; refunds will be made accordingly. Furthermore, IPMI has full authority to relocate any Exhibitor after downsizing of space. The above cancelation fee terms shall apply regardless of the execution date of this Agreement and regardless of any re-sale of booth space canceled by Exhibitor.


IPMI strongly encourages exhibitors to hold their own hospitality events; however, we insist and require that it does not conflict with any conference-related activities or schedule. We generally recommend exhibitors schedule their hospitality events in the evening after the Expo Hall hours end and education sessions are over. NO EVENTS ARE ALLOWED DURING THE OPENING EVENT ON SUNDAY, JUNE 14. 


IPMI has a zero tolerance policy regarding suitcasing.
Any IPMI Conference & Expo attendee (non-exhibitor) who is observed soliciting business in the trade show aisles will be asked to forfeit their badge and leave the show floor immediately. Violators of these policies will be ejected from the show and charged the single-booth rate, which must be paid prior to registering as an attendee, exhibitor, or sponsor at any future IPMI conference or other event. Please report any violation you observe to the Conference team.

Definition of “Suitcasing”
Suitcasing at the IPMI Conference & Expo is defined as any activity by one who has not paid an exhibition fee (i.e. purchased a booth) where the activity is designed to solicit or sell products or services to other exhibitors or attendees without authorization by IPMI to engage in such solicitation. Suitcasing can occur by those who are registered as attendees or by parties misrepresenting their business or entity relationship to IPMI.
