Reserve a Booth
Submitting Your Exhibit Application

1. Which product area? 
The expo is divided into five major categories to ensure that buyers can easily shop the show floor. To qualify for specific product area, at least 60% of products/services displayed in the booth must be applicable to the area selected. The Product Category section on the Exhibit Space Application may help in determining the correct section. The NACS Show product areas are: 

• Facility Development & Store Operations
• Foodservice & Food Equipment
• Merchandise/Candy & Snacks (Merged in 2010)
• Petroleum Equipment & Services
• Technology

2. Review the current floor plan. 
Select at least 3-4 available booth options in your product area. Quick Tips for floor plan viewing instructions and exhibit hall layout.

3. Read the Exhibitor Prospectus and Terms & Conditions. 
General rules of booth conduct are included in the Terms and Conditions. 

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

• All company contact information on the first page (e-mail address required for future confirmations and login credentials)
• Booth size and booth locations desired. Booth space is assigned on a first-received, first-assigned basis. 
• 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 (applications without payment will not be processed)

6. Submit the completed application(s) with payment.
The signed exhibit space application (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.
