Exhibit Options

Dedicated exhibit hours are on Monday, October 12, with strong attendee traffic throughout the day. We offer three indoor exhibit space options - see details below.

Elite Exhibit

What makes an exhibit elite? Among other things - location, location, location. The Elite Exhibit area is right outside the general session area and exhibitors have their own "Elite" space. Elite Exhibitors do not set up or tear down a traditional tradeshow booth. NDACo provides the display area, table and signage with your logo. There is room for pop-ups (see picture).

Also, Elite Exhibitors must bring a raffle gift to be displayed at their booths for the NDACo Scholarship Fundraiser; these raffle gifts are a main attraction to our attendees.

Traditional Exhibit

The Bismarck Event Center provides an excellent venue for Traditional trade show booths. Traffic through the Exhibit Hall is strong, and there's plenty of room in the Traditional Exhibit to demonstrate your product, show a video, or sit knee to knee with your prospects.

Large Equipment Exhibit

We are once again designating Large Equipment Exhibit space to adjoin your booth. You won't have to leave your booth to show off your big toys! We are including the Large Equipment spaces between the Elite and Traditional exhibit area. Sign up soon, as space is limited.
