Booth space is $27.50 per square foot. Payment is due upon submission of your application/contract.
Cost of exhibit space does not include the following: rigging or machinery moving, unpacking, installation and dismantle of booth properties, utilities (i.e., electrical, water, gas, compressed air, telephone) booth decoration, furniture, table or carpet). Exhibitors may order these services through our official show contractor, T3 Expo, through the online Exhibitor Services Kit.
In the event the Exhibitor cancels all or part of the exhibit space contract, the Exhibitor must do so in writing to sales@aota.org, and will be obligated to pay liquidated damages based on the following schedule:
All services and benefits included with exhibit space shall be forfeited with the cancellation of space.
Reduction in space will result in an equal reduction of included services and benefits.
Please review Section 8 of the contract, which states: No exhibitor shall assign, sublet, share, or apportion the whole or any part of the space allotted to him or her without the knowledge and prior written consent of the AOTA show management.
You must have at least 400 square feet of space in an island or peninsula configuration to have a hanging sign. Hanging signs are permitted to be hung at 20 feet, from the floor to the top of the sign. You must complete the Hanging Sign Request Form and submit that along with a layout and specs on the sign by March 7, 2024. This form will be available in the online Exhibitor Services Kit.
Please contact AOTA for permission to bring a vehicle to the show floor by January 16, 2024. The Display Vehicle Reporting Form will be available in the online Exhibitor Services Kit. Vehicle move-in and move-out will be coordinated by the show’s official service contractor, T3.
Work rules vary from one city to another. In Orlando, exhibitors may unload their own personal vehicles provided they do not use any material handling equipment (fork lifts, flatbeds, dollies, pallet jacks, etc.) through the main entrances doors to the Exhibit Hall. T3 will control access to the loading docks in order to provide a safe and orderly move in and move out.
As an exhibitor, you may choose to utilize your own personnel to set up and dismantle your exhibit. If full-time company personnel are utilized to set up an exhibit, they should carry positive company identification or payroll stub.
