For shows held at Hickory Metro Convention Center – each booth will have an 8’ high back wall comprised of draping. The sides will be 3’ high draping. 

Booths do not include tables, chairs, or power. These can be added on to your booth, for an additional charge. Check each shows website for more information. 

For shows taking place at Hickory Metro Convention Center, tents are allowed but heavily discouraged. This is because setting up a tent at an indoor show creates a darker environment.  In our experience, booths with tents have been less approachable by show-goers at our other shows.

 

If you insist on using a tent in HMCC, it MUST have a label on it with the fire retardant information.  These will be checked by the fire inspector. 

No. Only signs hung with sign hooks can be hung form the pipes and drapery. 

Each show has a juried application process to ensure the shows stay true to their purpose and audience. The application can be found on each show’s website. 

New applications for each show open 6 months prior to the show date. You can find more information on each shows individual website. 

Booth payments are due 2 months before the show date. This allows us to complete the floor plan, as well as have printed materials ready for show time.
