Important Exhibitor Information

Who are the Exhibitors?

Networking Center Exhibitors during the Annual Conference will include industry suppliers to Florida-based attractions as well as ticket resellers. Non-members are welcome to exhibit based upon space availability.  Attractions do not exhibit.

Limited Capacity

Because of high demand, Exhibit space will sell out quickly.  Space is on a first-come first-serve basis, and we recommend that you register early.  Space is allocated first to exhibitor companies that are Conference Sponsors.

FAA Culture and Networking Center

Exhibitors should approach attendees as “solutions providers.”  “Selling” in the traditional sense is discouraged in the Networking Center. Building and developing long-term relationships is the foundation of a successful sales strategy with the FAA community.

About Exhibit Space

The location of the Networking Center is the Oceana Ballroom located in the Hilton West Palm Beach (Ground level).  The Networking Center also showcases the Silent Auction, and select meal functions.  Exhibitors will utilize either an (8’ length x 5’ depth empty space no pipe & drape) – OR- a (6’x 30” table-top) until space is sold out!

Use of wall outlets in the Ballroom for basic electrical needs is complimentary.  Bring your own power cords and power strips. 

Exhibit Space Fee

$500 per Company (FAA Member)

$700 per Company (Non-FAA Member)

In order to qualify for Exhibit Space, at least one Company Representative must be paying for a Full Conference Registration.  Exhibit Space may not be split or shared between two companies.  When you register as an Exhibitor, the Exhibit Space fee will be automatically added to your total.  For all conference sponsors, the Exhibit Space fee is waived.  Not a Sponsor?  Become a conference sponsor today!
