Yes. Nexxt Show has been selected as the official general services contractor for PestWorld 2019. The booth fee includes the hard walls and identification sign. Costs for booth furnishings, carpeting, drayage, and electric will all be additional. Exhibitors will be responsible for ordering these items through Nexxt Show.
The exhibitor service manual will be available in June. Nexxt Show will send an individual e-mail to each exhibiting company with their log-in and password information. All service kits are accessed online. If you don’t have online capabilities, please inform NPMA or Nexxt Show and a hard copy can be mailed out to you.
Yes. Exhibits are required to purchase carpeting or provide floor covering. Carpet can be rented through Nexxt show.
Yes, union labor may be required for some aspects of your installation and dismantling. Please refer to the Union Regulations section in the Exhibitor Service Manual for more information.
Exhibitors may employ the services of independent contractors to install and dismantle their booths. Written notification must be submitted to Nexxt Show at least 30 days prior to move in. Exhibitors must provide evidence that the EAC has the proper certificate of insurance.
Everyone that enters the exhibit hall needs an official badge. NPMA is providing security for the hall 24 hours a day throughout the convention. If you need badges for workers that are helping with set-up or tear-down only, please inform NPMA prior to the show or stop by the registration desk on-site and a badge can be made for them at no charge.
Space sales are assigned according to the Exhibitor Seniority System. A booth space drawing is held in September, approximately one year and one month out from the convention. Space is awarded by seniority with the companies that have exhibited for the most consecutive number of years having first choice. If a company does not participate in the booth space drawing, space then becomes available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
No. Exhibitors are prohibited from subletting all or any part of their contracted booth space.
Exhibitors are welcome to hold drawings in their booth to increase traffic. Winners of drawings can be announced during the Friday exhibit hours only. Once an exhibiting company has picked a winner, that information can be brought to the NPMA booth and we will announce the winner and direct them to your booth. We do not make announcements during any other exhibit hall hours as it interferes with communication and dialog on the exhibit floor.
You can make your reservation online by visiting the PestWorld 2019 website, PestWorld 2019 Hotel & Travel Information. This year we are partnering with a housing company, Orchid Events, who will assist you with making reservations at any of our PestWorld 2019 hotels.
