EXHIBITOR FAQS

Where can I find the Exhibitor Terms & Conditions?

The 2023 Exhibitor T&Cs were sent in the confirmation email you received from SIMA when booking your booth. 
By registering for a booth space, you agreed to these terms.  Access the 2023 T&Cs here.

What drayage/material handling is included with my booth purchase?

Your booth purchase includes:

  • Moving equipment/materials from the loading dock to the exhibitor booth via a fork lift for move-in and visa-versa for move-out
    • This includes items shipped to the Advance Warehouse by June 5th
    • Items received at the warehouse after June 5th will incur a 25% surcharge to be paid by the exhibitor
  • Vehicle spotting if equipment can move on its own

Basically, exhibitors are in charge of the actual shipment of their products to/from the event and SIMA will cover the costs once onsite. Still have questions? Contact exhibits@sima.org
