Welcome to the first Exhibitor Bulletin for IAAPA Expo 2025! We’re excited to bring you these bulletins, which will be sent periodically leading up to the event. Each issue will include essential reminders and tips to help you prepare for a successful exhibiting experience. If you have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Exhibitors@IAAPA.org—we’re here to help!

Please know this email is being sent to you as the primary contact listed for your company. If you feel you are not the correct person to receive these communications for the exhibitor booth, feel free to share it with anyone else in your organization who would benefit from this information. Also, when our new Exhibitor Resource Center launches, you’ll be able to add those team members to receive future bulletins directly.

Thank you, and we look forward to supporting you throughout the planning process!

Any floor supported graphics over the 8’ high drape facing adjacent booths regardless of booth type must remain set back no less than ten feet (10’) from adjacent booths.
