EXHIBITORS FAQ
Hey there, exhibitors! You have questions. We have answers.
You will find answers to some of your most common questions below. If you don't find what you're looking for here, drop us a line!
How do I apply to exhibit at a CHAMPS Trade Show?
Each show has a separate vendor application. First, we place the returning vendors who were at that same show last year (Priority Placement). Next, we go through the online applications, in the order that we receive them, to book booths. Everyone who is on the Vendor Mailing List receives an email as soon as the applications open up for each future show. Join the vendor mailing list using the link below:
STAY INFORMED
What is Priority Placement?
Priority Placement is our process for booking returning vendors. A “returning vendor” is any vendor who was invoiced for that same show the previous year. They will get a separate priority placement form before the online vendor applications open, and as long as they fill out the form they will be placed on the map before any new vendors to this show.
What is included with a CHAMPS Booth?
Each 10x10 booth comes with an 8ft table, a chair, a waste basket, pipe/drape, and up to 4 vendor badges included. A 10x20 booth comes with 2x of each and a 20x20 booth comes with 4x of each. Carpet, electric, and additional furnishings are optional and can be ordered through the Exhibitor Kit. We have separate Exhibitor Kits for each show, and a link to the Exhibitor Kit will be available under the exhibitor tab of our website.
How do I sign my vendor contract?
Once the vendor team has reserved a booth for you, you will be sent an email with a log in for your exhibitor portal. The email will have your password, as well as a link taking you directly to the vendor contract portion of the portal. Simply copy your password and paste it into the link above it so you can log in. Once logged in you will be able to sign your vendor contract. While signing your contract you will be able to pay the deposit.
When is payment due?
50% is due at the time of booking, and 100% due 45 days before the show.
How do I get my vendor/staff badges?
We send out an email with badge registration instructions within a month of the show dates. We do not send out an email to register your badges until the vendor contract has been signed and the booth is paid in full. We highly recommend registering your badges in advance in order to expedite the process. Any manufacturer or service provider must purchase a booth in order to get badges for any of our shows.
What are the different booth layouts?
Actually, we have a dedicated site page for that! Please visit the EXHIBITOR BOOTH LAYOUTS page for more information.
Who attends CHAMPS Trade Shows?
Our show is Business-to-Business (B2B), and not open to the public. CHAMPS Trade Shows provides a platform for a wide range of businesses, including smoke shops, vape shops, distributors, wholesalers, dispensaries, adult novelty shops, C-Stores, and any other store in the counterculture industry.
