Other Important Exhibitor Information

  • Please share the details regarding your booth purchase with your on-site booth attendant(s) to ensure your company receives all the benefits of participating in this not-to-miss conference.
  • Exhibiting companies must consent to the terms in DFI’s Exhibit Space Contract. When you register online, consent is requested before your registration is considered complete. To preview a copy of the Contract, click here
  • DFI reserves the right to adjust booth locations based on program changes.
  • Freeman will only move freight during posted show hours. Show hours appear on this website and in the Exhibit Space Contract. Exhibitors are expected to set-up and break-down according to this schedule. A fee of $500.00 will be billed to exhibiting companies that set-up late or break-down early. We appreciate your willingness to adhere to these guidelines.
  • From time to time, smaller companies may want to ship their booth materials directly to the hotel. Please know that sending materials directly to the Gaylord National Resort may have you experience delays in retrieving your shipment. Click here for information from FedEx Office for details about sending packages directly to the hotel. These Exhibitors are also asked to make their own arrangements to store shipping cases and other material (at the booth or in their hotel room). Neither the Gaylord National Resort or DFI will be able to accommodate exhibitor storage.
