Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I set up my booth early? Early setup for vendors is Wednesday, January 28th from 1 – 4 p.m. Early setup is highly encouraged for all vendors as registrants arrive early to visit vendors before the 8 a.m. start time when doors open at 7:30 a.m.
When will I find out which booth I’ve been assigned? Booths are assigned prior to vendor setup and will be posted on Wednesday, January 28th, by 1:00 pm.
When and where do sponsors check in to the event? DIA representatives will circulate in the vendor room after the 1st class tract (approx. 9 am) and check in all vendors. Badges and other Expo items that sponsors will need when the doors open will be placed in booths at early setup.
When will Expo attendees visit the vendor room during the event? The DIA understands the importance of connecting with attendees which is why we make every effort to maximize the time available for visitors to explore the vendor room. Break timeframes have been strategically scheduled in accordance with TCEQ guidelines to ensure that all required class instruction time is met while allowing ample opportunity for attendees to engage with sponsors and vendors.
Will there be an opportunity to give door prizes to attendees? The DIA will host an all event door prize giveaway starting promptly at 12:30 p.m. Because of time constraints, please limit your giveaways to one item or grouping of items with a retail value of at least $50.00. Please have your organization’s representative line up stage left at 12:15 p.m.
At what time are sponsors served lunch? To ensure that our sponsors are available to connect with attendees, we have scheduled lunch for sponsors at 11:30 a.m. This allows sponsors to finish their meal and be prepared for attendees who will be released at 12:00 p.m.
Can I ship booth and/or marketing materials to the event center? If you need to ship materials to the Plano Event Center, see their Shipping and Storage information page at https://www.planoeventcenter.org/event-resource-guide.
