REGISTRATION INFORMATION

What badges do I get as an exhibitor? Who can use the badges?
Accredited exhibitor representatives will receive non-transferable exhibitor badges. These badges allow booth staff, techs, and bakers on to the show floor at 7:00 AM on show days.

Each exhibitor will receive four (4) badges per company for booths up to 200 square feet. For booths larger than 200 square feet, the additional badge allotment policy is two (2) badges per each additional 100 square feet. Total badge allotment may not exceed forty (40) badges.
