First Time Exhibitors

Welcome to Marketplace Events. We want to do everything we can to help our first-time exhibitors be successful so you can reap the benefits of live face-to-face events for years to come!   

We know that participating can be daunting in the first year and that it takes three shows to fully maximize your investment, so we have created this resource page to help accelerate the learning process.


Q&A PODCAST & EXHIBITOR TIPS

We’ve created a podcast answering the most frequently asked questions our exhibitors ask plus created a How-To Guide for first-time exhibitors summarizing what you need to know to get ready for the show. Share these resources with your team and don’t forget to call your sales representative to schedule a time during move-in to review your booth space and answer any other questions you have.

RENEWALS

HOW DOES OUR RENEWAL PROGRAM WORK?

Incredibly, on average 42% of our booked exhibitors will sign their contract for next year before they leave the 2025 show!  Our longtime exhibitors know the value of face to events in driving high value leads that turn into sales!  They renew onsite to secure the best booth at the best price.

 

Hear from exhibitors on why they keep coming back to Marketplace Events Home Shows.
Year after year the OKC Home and Garden Show has been a huge success for us; the growth is tremendous and is the reason we continue to come back!  In 2022 we set 72 leads and had 15 sales. In 2023 we set 117 leads and had 32 sales.  This year we set 161 leads with 25 sales so far and the show just took place!

WHY RENEW EARLY?

We offer three payment options including a monthly plan so you can secure your spot with just 10% down. 

You receive the best price when you renew onsite. Typically, renewal discounts expire, and prices increase the Friday after the Show.

Not sure if you want the same spot? No problem - If you want to move or upgrade, check the box on your renewal application that reads “Contact me to move or upgrade my space.” Exhibitors are contacted in the order contracts are received so you will have early access to new booth locations. 

We will hold your booth space until Friday after the Show, after that, the floor is open so your space will be released into inventory for other exhibitors.
