GeoAlberta Exhibitor Passport

To help promote delegate traffic through the tradeshow area, GeoAlberta will be issuing a GeoAlberta Passport to every delegate in attendance. When delegates visit your booth, you will stamp their bankbook with a stamp provided to you by GeoAlberta. The delegates who have submitted a completed passport are entered into a prize draw.

Registering Booth Staff

All exhibitor staff must register for the conference. They can register at no cost (in which case, they can only access the tradeshow area) or hey can register for the full conference at a significantly reduced rate of $149 (max. 2 people per company can register for the full conference at this rate - additional staff must register at the full rate). Registration is available online in the exhibitor toolkit.

Wednesday Evening Social

All tradeshow vendors are invited to attend the Wednesday evening social event - an excellent opportunity to interact with conference delegates in a more casual environment. Check out the fun section for more details on the evening.
