Exhibits that cause disruption to the event due to appearance, smell, noise, vibrations or similar properties, & particularly because they pose a hazard or inconvenience to other exhibitors or visitors, or to the exhibits of other exhibitors, must be removed should Hall of Flowers management make such a request.

EXHIBITOR Passes

As an exhibitor at the Hall of Flowers, we understand that having the right number of passes for your sales staff is crucial. It is also important to consider the size of your booth when determining the number of staff members needed. Of the exhibitor passes provided, it is recommended to have only half the number of staff in your booth at any given time. Having too many staff members in your booth can make it feel overcrowded and not welcoming to retailers. We provide you with a sufficient number of passes to staff your booth, and still provide you with flexibility in scheduling and ensuring that you have enough sales staff to cover the event without overcrowding your booth.

In order to get access to your Exhibitor Passes for the event, we will send you a link for Eventbrite with a promo code by EOD the Friday before show day. This code will be sent to the primary email / Hall of Flowers point of contact as listed on your contract. This email will also include your discount code. You will input this code into Eventbrite for the allotted discounted two-day tickets.

(NOTE: THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CODES) Tickets will not be released if exhibitors have not paid in full.

Please note that each Event Pass must be designated to one employee. Passes are NON-transferable & can NOT be exchanged even between employees.

HOW TO REGISTER YOUR TEAM:

Your team’s Point of Contact, who has been receiving all the onboarding emails, will receive the Eventbrite email to register your team. You will need to register each member individually with their legal name and email address. Once you assign each team member their tickets, Eventbrite will send a QR code that will be scanned at the box office in exchange for a NON-TRANSFERABLE wristband. This wristband must remain on the entire show time; if the wristband is lost/taken off, or transferred, it will result in the loss of the wristband/entry to the show. Every exhibitor must bring a photo ID in order to check in at the box office. This is a cannabis show, meaning everyone must be 21+ with proof of ID, no exceptions. You must use all allotted tickets before requesting more. Additional (2-day) exhibitor passes are available at a discount rate while tickets last. Once you have used ALL your allotted ticket amount, you can then request a discount code from your sales rep!

EXHIBITOR PASS ALLOTMENT:

*Additional Passes (last column) - If you require additional passes, Additional Exhibitor Passes for both days of the show and Industry Passes for Day 2 of the show will be available for purchase. Reach out to your Sales Rep for more info!

While you are free to use your passes as you see fit, we recommend using your exhibitor passes for your sales staff. This allows retailers to meet with your sales team members who can provide them with valuable information about your products and services.

Please note that if you purchase a ticket rather than using the provided promo code, we are unable to grant reimbursements. Reach out to your sales rep regarding the price of extra exhibitor passes.
