Please take the time to review this exhibitor manual thoroughly. Included in this packet is information on exhibitor setup/move-out, event hours, shipping instructions, order forms, key contact information, etc. Also included is a checklist of important deadlines in order to save you time and money.

Exhibitor Registration & Badges

Enclosed you will find an order form for your company exhibitor badges. Each exhibiting company will receive (5) Exhibitor Badges to be reused throughout the duration of the event. Please advise workers to return badges to exhibitor registration when their shift is over so they can be redistributed to your next crew. Exhibitor Badges are transferable between employees. Once these badges are gone, anyone requesting a badge will be treated as an attendee and charged an admission fee (Adults - $12.00).

Exhibitor Badges are only to be worn by employees of the company renting booth space and working in the booth during their designated shift. Official Exhibitor (Show) Badges are the only forms of identification that will allow you entry onto the show floor. Individual company badges or identification is not acceptable. This policy is necessary to increase security and deter theft.

Please complete the attached Exhibitor Badge Order Form (event's employee list) and return to Jeanne Castiglione via E-Mail - Jeannecastiglione@ or Fax at (508) 822-1292 no later than Friday, February 8, 2019. All exhibitors are required to submit badge forms/ staff list prior to the event. Changes can be made at the Exhibitor Registration Desk if needed.

Badges can be picked up at Exhibitor Registration, outside of the on-site show office, beginning Friday, February 22nd to exhibiting companies that are paid in full.

Guest of Exhibitor Tickets

Exhibitors will be provided with (5) Guest of Exhibitor passes per Company Exhibit to use at your own discretion. Tickets will be mailed to Company Contact noted on the Event Contract near the end of January to companies PAID-IN-FULL at the time of the mailing. These tickets are to be distributed prior to arriving at the 2019 New England Home Show or may be left at our will-call desk, under your Company Name or Guest Name, located in the main entrance lobby. These tickets should not be distributed in or around the building throughout the duration of the show.

Guests of exhibitors must use Guest Passes (not exhibitor badges). Additional Guest Passes can be obtained for $6.00 each, a savings of $6.00 off the regular adult ticket price (see below for more info).

Prepaid Tickets

Castle Events is also providing the opportunity to exhibitors to purchase admission tickets to the Show at $6.00. Please see Prepaid Ticket Order Form attached. These have great promotional value for your customers. Exhibitors can also purchase discount tickets throughout the show.

Important Note: These tickets are to be distributed prior to arriving at the New England Home Show. In no way should these tickets be distributed in or around the building throughout the duration of the show. We ask all exhibitors to utilize the Will Call, located in the main lobby, for any VIP ticket, or exhibitor badge distribution. Anyone seen distributing tickets in or around the building will be asked to leave immediately and the tickets will be confiscated.
