Do you send or sell event attendee lists?
SHARE Show Management sends a full attendee list approximately 4-weeks and 1-week prior to the event, and a full attendee list 2-weeks post-event to all registered exhibitors. Please note that neither of these lists include email addresses or phone numbers and they do not include those who have opted out of exhibitor communications during registration. These lists are reserved only for the companies that exhibited at the event.
How do I select my booth space?
If you contract a booth prior to the day of space selection, you will receive an email with a call-in time and will be able to select your booth on the selected date. If you contract after the space selection date, you can send in your top two booth choices to kmcdonnell@share.org and the SHARE Show Management team will reserve your booth for you. The floor plan will be available later this spring.
How is the order selected for space selection?
Space selection call-in times are based on sponsorship level and priority points. The premier sponsors get to select first, with Platinum going first, then Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Within each sponsorship level, order is determined based on the amount of priority points. After the premier sponsors select, the rest of the exhibitors’ call-in times are determined by the amount of priority points the company has.
How can I earn points for Pittsburgh?
Your company can earn priority points for Pittsburgh space selection by submitting a contract onsite or in the weeks following Phoenix, by having purchased a booth at the Phoenix event, for being a SHARE 2019 member, for signing up as a SHARE Pittsburgh Premier Sponsor, for being a SHARE Pittsburgh contributing sponsor, and completing the post-event Phoenix exhibitor survey.
Where can I find shipping information?
Shipping information can be found in the Exhibitor Services Manual.
How can I order lead retrieval?
The Lead Retrieval order form can be found here. All order forms are included in the Exhibitor Services Manual.
Can I set up my own booth?
The answer to this question varies from city to city. For Pittsburgh, you are allowed to set up your own booth if you are an employee of the exhibiting company and you can set it up without using any power tools. If you need assistance setting up your booth, you can order labor through Shepard or a different Exhibitor Appointed Contractor. If you choose a different contractor, you must submit the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor forms which you can find in the Exhibitor Services Manual.
What is SHARE’s booth cancellation policy?
If a booth space is cancelled or reduced 90 days or more from the start of the event, the exhibitor will incur an administrative fee of 50% of the total booth cost. If cancellation or reduction of exhibit space is made 89 days or less from the start of the event, there will be no refund.
