Learn About Exhibiting

Why Exhibit?

Exhibiting at the Club Business Expo connects you with club management professionals. It is a prime opportunity to generate leads, as more than 60 percent of attendees make direct purchases from exhibitors.

Here is why you should consider securing a booth:

Connect with Decision Makers: Skip the gatekeepers and get face-to-face with the executives who hold the purchasing power.
Showcase Innovations: Utilize specialized platforms like the New Product Showcase to launch new concepts and physically display your offerings.
Networking Events: Engage with attendees outside of formal meetings during dedicated floor times like the CMAA Happy Hour to build and solidify long-term client relationships.

Pricing

The booth space fee is $27 per sq. ft. + $200 per corner (if applicable). All booth décor (carpeting/flooring, tables, chairs, electrical, internet, wi-fi, etc.) is the responsibility of the exhibiting company. EX. 10x10 aisle/inline = $2,700
