Already purchase a booth? Your booth purchaser should have received an email with badge registration instructions. If you haven't received these, please contact Clearwing. 

• Badge pickup begins mid-day during load in and continues the morning of the show.

• AVL Expo is no longer a "table show" - we see exhibitors bringing 10x20's and large portions of their traveling booth setups. The only caveat is we do not offer overhead rigging.
• We encourage attendees to get hands-on and ask questions. We kindly ask that vendors remain approachable, engage in conversations, and smile! 🙂
  
• Standard 10x10 booths include a 6' table, 2 chairs and a single 20 amp circuit. Reference your booth agreement for booth specifications including size, additional tables, chairs and power. 
• The convention hall lighting will be shut off during the show. Overhead lighting and general atmospheric effects are provided by Clearwing. If you need lighting adjusted, ask the Clearwing team.
• Please be respectful of others when using any amplified audio, lighting effects, or other products.

Concessions are not open during the show. Rather, Clearwing offers a complimentary box lunch with your badge registration if registered before 10/31. Additional complimentary snacks and beverages will be provided within the attendee lounge, help yourself.

Please be aware, the venue has a strict no carry-in policy. 

It's easy! Text the phone number on the back of your badge. Include a photo of the attendee's badge (or their name + company) along with a short summary of what they're looking for. 

To respect attendee data, we do not sell or distribute attendee lists.  However, Clearwing's sales team will work with you to make a connection and the sale happen post-show!
