NACS will once again have a New Exhibitor Area in the exhibit hall. This is a high-traffic area and focal point for retailers and buyers looking for new products with extended exhibit hall hours. Space in the New Exhibitor Area is limited to 100 square feet ($3,800) and is based on availability, membership status and company eligibility. Go to nacsshow.com/newexhibitor for more information.

Booth space cannot be held. All booth reservations are subject to space availability at the time the application and payment agreement are received.

Online floor plan for available booths and sizes is available at nacsshow.com/floorplan. The floor plan and booth availability changes often, and new plans are uploaded 2-3 times daily. Booth locations cannot be held. Please make sure to include multiple booth locations in your online application request. If requested options are not available, your NACS account manager will contact you with suggested locations.

Based on historical attendance flow patterns at NACS Show events in Atlanta, a floor plan has been created that illustrates the predicted flow throughout the exhibit halls. These predictions are not a guarantee of traffic, but a guide to aid in booth layout and design. A PDF diagram of the floor plan is available at nacsshow.com/expotrafficflow.

Booth applications received from NACS and PEI members during the advance selection process will be assigned based on priority points earned since 2004. In June 2024, open selection begins, and spaces are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, based on availability. Visit nacsshow.com/prioritypoints for more detailed information.
