In order for your company to register for exhibitor badges and manage its company profile in the NeoCon Exhibitor Directory for NeoCon 2025, we require a Registration Contact and a Marketing Contact from each showroom and booth exhibiting at the show. Click the link below to manage your contacts.
NeoCon 2025 Exhibitor Registration opens February 3.
Each exhibiting company has been asked to designate an Exhibitor Registration Contact, who is assigned a specific password that allows them to register their staff for the show (password provided via email).
The exhibitor registration system provides each company’s Exhibitor Registration Contact access to a dashboard that allows them the flexibility to register multiple staff, edit and delete staff at their convenience, and send staff their own confirmations.
Staff may also register themselves once their Exhibitor Registration Contact has provided them their company's password.
