At GES, we proudly offer exhibitors effortless and efficient contactless service to help you have your most successful show ever. Our Exhibitor Services Team has perfected this experience by innovating and implementing streamlined processes for your convenience and safety, including expanded communication channels and modified services to reduce the need for contact whenever possible.
While our team is always available to meet with exhibitors in person, we are committed to providing the same level of service through (paperless) digital communications. Your health and safety and that of our teams, vendors, partners, and clients are of paramount importance to us always.
Stay Up-To-Date with Exhibitor Resources and Emails.
We help you stay informed by offering clear communication for Online Ordering, Move-In/Move-Out details, Discounts and Deadlines, links to forms, and more:
- Planning assistance and detailed explanations of pre-show products and services are available on the show's ordering site.
- We’ll also send a series of helpful emails highlighting best practices for health and safety and discount deadlines to assist in managing budgets.
Order Online with Confidence with the Refund Guarantee.
