Know Before You Go

Here's a quick link to the Expo Information page that gives you what you need to know before you go.

Expo Information


Exhibitor Red Carpet Lounge

Don't forget to stop by the Exhibitor Red Carpet Lounge to grab a cup of coffee in the morning, or take a break in the afternoon. Open Friday, January 27 through Sunday, January 29, this lounge is provided exclusively for our exhibitor partners. You'll find it in Hall E near the Exhibitor Service Center.


Assistance During Move-in and Show Days

NADA Floor Managers will be on hand during move-in and show days to assist you should you need them. Look for the "Red Coats". Working with the Floor Managers will be the Freeman Concierge team, to assist with Freeman-specific issues during move-in.


Be a Good Neighbor & Enjoy the Show!

The countdown continues, and most of you are in the final stretch of your NADA Expo planning. We have guidelines in place to help ensure that all exhibitors have a positive experience and good ROI for their participation. The following list includes some of the most common issues that Exhibitors need to be aware of in planning their 2023
participation. Here you will find the complete list of Exhibit Rules & Regulations and Exhibit Design Regulations.

Within Booth Only - Exhibitors must not distribute promotional material from any location outside of their assigned booth space. This includes restrooms, restaurants, workshop rooms and any other public area within or outside of the convention center.

Convention Center Exterior Property - Exhibitors may not post ads or any other form of advertising/marketing media on any structure, vehicle or device on the exterior grounds of convention center property.

Taste and Decorum - Exhibitors may use professional models within their booth space, however, the models must be tastefully dressed. (as determined by NADA Show Management.) They must also remain in the assigned booth space and cannot walk the expo hall aisles or other areas of the convention center for the purpose of soliciting business or directing/escorting attendees to their booth.

Audio or Visual Display Equipment - Exhibitors using audio systems and/or live entertainment must keep amplification at a conversational level. The use of speakers will be permitted only if they are within the confines of the contracted exhibit space and facing inward and not toward the aisles. Adequate sound insulation must be built around the speakers to assure non-interference with neighboring exhibitors.

No Live Animals - Live animals will not be allowed within any booth space or the expo hall. Service dogs are allowed under ADA guidelines. 

No Peanuts or Popcorn - Peanuts or popcorn in any form are not allowed in the expo halls.

No Packing Up Early - Sunday's final day is a full exhibit day from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. Exhibitors ARE NOT authorized to begin packing up their booths until the closing announcements have been made.

DO NOT ever chase, confront, or stalk attendees outside your booth parameters. This one behavior is the #1 top complaint of NADA attendees, and it's the best way to derail your ROI goals and objectives.


Scam Alerts

NADA has contracted with Maritz (formerly Experient) to be the official housing company for the NADA Show 2023. Maritz is the only company that can provide special exhibitor housing rates negotiated by NADA at official NADA hotels. Other housing companies or travel agencies may offer to book your guest rooms through their company during the NADA Show 2023 but they are not affiliated with or otherwise connected to NADA. Beware of scammers!

NADA Exhibitors are also frequently targeted by companies unaffiliated with NADA, offering attendee lists from the "NADA Show 2023" and/or variations on the NADA name or logo. Please be aware that these companies have nothing to do with NADA or the NADA Show. The attendee mailing lists for the show are only available directly from NADA and all confirmed exhibitors have access to those lists. Beware of scammers!

Be aware of email or other communications from vendors and contractors offering assistance in the host city. These communications may wrongly suggest that the company is endorsed by or connected with NADA. Please use caution when dealing with solicitations from companies that are not on the list of Official NADA Contractors.
