How to Reserve a Booth
Submitting an Exhibit Application

1. Determine which primary product area your product/service fits into at the NACS Show.
To qualify for specific primary product area, at least 60% of products/services displayed in your booth must be applicable to the area selected. The six areas are: Candy & Snacks, Facility Development & Store Operations, Foodservice & Food Equipment, Merchandise, Petroleum Equipment & Services, and Technology. The Product Category section on the Exhibit Space Application may help in determining the correct area.

2. View the current floor plan.
Select at least 3-4 available booth options in your product area.

3. Carefully read the Exhibitor Prospectus and Terms & Conditions. 
All booth display guidelines and rules of conduct are included in these documents. 

4. Complete all sections and sign the Exhibit Space Application.
The following sections must be completed before a booth is assigned:

• All company contact information on the first page
• Booth size and booth locations desired
• Primary product area – see Product Category section to help determine the correct area (Note: At least 60% of products/services displayed must be applicable)
• Competitors from whom you desire separation. This can be a critical component of the booth assignment process.
• Check off any product categories that are relevant to your company
• Include Payment
• Authorized Signature
• Eligibility to Exhibit

5. Determine NACS Membership.
To reserve your booth at the lower member rate, you must be a NACS or PEI member through the NACS Show 2009. Expiring memberships must be renewed prior to the Show. If you are not a NACS Member and would like to join - become a member today! To confirm your company's current membership status, please contact Amanda Puller at (703) 518-4223 or apuller@nacsonline.com.

6. Send in your completed application(s) with payment.
The signed exhibit space application (all 3 pages), supplier membership application (if applying for membership), and payment should be returned to NACS to the addresses shown on the right. SPECIAL NOTE: If you are paying by check to reserve a booth and join as a NACS member, you do not need to submit separate checks. One check for the total amount accompanied by both completed applications will suffice.
