All exhibitor personnel are required to register for MINExpo® online—and there’s a very good reason for this requirement: it avoids all the hassle of trying to register onsite at the time of the show, and it allows compliance with security regulations which require identification during installation of the exhibit.

Everything you need to know about registering is already on the website in the Exhibitor Services tab.

Here are some things to remember. For every 100 square feet of booth space that an exhibitor has reserved, the exhibitor gets four complimentary exhibitor staff badges, with a cap of 75. These badges must be used for people working in the booth, including models and demonstrators. Dealers and distributors who may be working at your booth also must have exhibitor badges, as must your exhibitor appointed contractor (EAC) during show days.

If you use up all your complimentary badges, additional people pay a discounted advance registration fee of $25 per person prior to August 10, 2012, and $50 per person after August 10, 2012.

Exhibitors occupying 5,000 square feet or more receive four complimentary badges per every 100 square feet of booth space for their Dealers and Distributors, with a cap of 75 complimentary Dealer/Distributor badges. All Dealers/Distributors in excess of the complimentary allotment pay a discounted advance registration fee of $100 per person ($200 onsite). These badges are not for Dealers or Distributors working in the exhibitor’s booth. Exhibitor badges are required for Dealers or Distributors working in the booth.
