Good pre-show advertising and throughout the show!

Renfro Productions did a great job facilitating/staging move-in and move-out process.

The residual effects from the show boost our sales every year for months after. The one year we missed (the show) due to another obligation our sales sagged and we quickly realized we did not want to miss another.

Best consumer trade show I’ve done so far this year!

Exhibitor FAQ's

Q: I have submitted my space application – what happens now?

A: Your space application is your request for booth space in the show – it is not a signed agreement. Applications are evaluated by our sales staff, and once it has been determined that your product/services best fit the show, we will extend an invitation and you will be sent a lease agreement.

Q: I’m now an Exhibitor – how do I pay for my booth space?

A: Glad to have you in the show! You may either send a check or you can pay with a credit card. PLEASE NOTE: ALL FUNDS are to be in US DOLLARS, and if you are paying with a credit card and we are unable to swipe your card, there is a 3% processing fee.

Q: Do I need to staff my booth during all show hours?

A: Yes – all exhibits must be staffed during all hours open to the public (SEE LEASE AGREEMENT – you are contractually obligated to staff your booth at all times). REMEMBER, show attendees have purchased tickets with the expectation that you will be there to answer questions. If your booth isn’t staffed, you are missing the opportunity for potential business.

Q: How many exhibitor credentials do I get & may I purchase more?

A: The number of exhibitor credentials you receive is calculated based on booth space. If the amount you receive isn’t enough for your purposes, you may purchase additional multi or single day credentials for those working your booth. Our Exhibitor Guide explains the amount provided based on booth space, and you can find that information by following this link https://cincysportshow.com/exhibitor-information/, locate the “Exhibitor Resources” area, then click on the “Click Here” link to open and review the Guide

Q: How and where do I get my exhibitor credentials?

A: At the time of check-in, exhibitors for the Boat, Sport & Travel Show can pick up packets (which include credentials, parking passes and any additional information that pertains to your company) at the Champions Pavilion Show desk. We do not mail exhibitor credentials.

Q: When do you need names for my credentials?

A: We no longer have names on our credentials, so there is no need to provide a list of names of those who will be staffing your booth(s).

Q: I have a stock trailer. Is there free parking for trailers?

A: There is specific, designated parking for trailers in the loading docks. There are a limited number of spaces, therefore the dock assignments are extended on a first come, first served basis. The Show staff will tell you where those areas are when you check-in.

Q: What are the setup days and hours for exhibitors?

A: Set-up hours are based on the size and location of your booth. The Bulk Space exhibitors are the first to set-up, are provided with a set up schedule, and must set up within the assigned timeframe. Booth Space exhibitors can set-up the day before and the morning of the show opening. For more specific days and times, review the Exhibitor Guide by following this link https://cincysportshow.com/exhibitor-information/, locate the “Exhibitor Resources” area, then click on the “Click Here” link to open and review the Guide.
