Exhibitor badges may not be used for outside vendors doing work in your booth.

BOOK HOTEL

You can access the Exhibitor Dashboard here and also navigate to it from Exhibitor Resources.

The Exhibitor Manual is the Freeman Online Portal which includes ALL show services, even vendors that are not Freeman. If you need floral, internet, security, you can find all of that in the Shop Products and Services section of the Exhibitor Manual.

The exhibitor schedules and deadlines and commonly ordered items serve as a checklist for exhibitors.
