Are the show days shortened?

We moved to a two-day exhibit hall starting in 2019. The Expo is open Friday and Saturday, July 22-23. We added more open hours to the expo hall, and we added more unopposed hours to the schedule (time attendees aren’t in sessions). So, there will still be the same number of hours for attendees to visit your booth – just better organized. This way, it maximizes your investment by cutting down on some external costs like hotel room nights, and staff costs.

How does lead scanning work through the IDEA Fitness Events App?

First, you must ensure you have purchased the lead scanning function. If you haven't, you may do so by contacting your Brand Strategist. In order to use the Lead Scanning you will need to download an App that will be sent to after purchase and prior to the event. A lead scanning license can only be used on one device. You may purchase multiple licenses if necessary. Administrator(s) will have access to a detailed list of all scanned leads. The lead report will provide you with real-time data on: name, email, scanner (who from your company scanned that lead), phone*, title* and company*. *Denotes that these items are provided if available, as some leads may opt out of providing this information.

How do I accept Purchases?

Most of our current exhibitors use these methods: credit card, Square Inc., cash, check, etc.

Do I need a tax permit for selling?

The state of Nevada mandates that all exhibitors who are selling merchandise in Nevada hold a seller’s permit and pay tax on tangible goods sold. Please add the location of our event to your already existing state of Nevada seller's permit for the month goods were sold. If you do not have a Nevada sellers permit you can complete the Collection Certificate found in the Exhibitor Kit, along with a total cost of goods sold and a check for the taxable rate on those goods to IDEA Health & Fitness at the close of the show. Certificates and checks will need to be turned into the rpmXPO service desk before you depart Nevada. Las Vegas Convention Center – West Hall – 3150 Paradise Rd., Las Vegas NV 89109

Am I allowed to sample nutrition products from my booth?

You are permitted to sample food product sized 2 oz. or less or beverage products sized 3 oz. or less (non-alcoholic only). For the cost of $200 per day (plus service and tax) you can sample food and beverage products in unlimited sizes. Certain health requirements must be met in order for you to sample food or beverage products at the IDEA World Convention.

My product must be refrigerated upon arrival. What are my options?

We offer a refrigerated truck at no charge. You're only responsible for the set-up fee and labor to retrieve product (see below for details). **PLEASE NOTE REFRIGERATED ITEMS MAY ONLY BE SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO SHOW SITE** IF YOU ARE SHIPPING TO THE SHOW: A label was created specifically for product/items that need to be refrigerated upon arrival to the conference site. This is not to be used in place of your carriers shipping labels, this is just to mark the freight to be delivered to the correct location. You can find that label and order instructions in the Exhibitor Kit. IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR ITEMS IN A PERSONALLY OWNED VEHICLE/VAN: You will still need to attach these labels to the pieces you need to be refrigerated. The loading dock will be staffed by freight personnel whom you can inform of the marked pieces that will be refrigerated when you arrive. RETRIEVING YOUR REFRIGERATED ITEMS: Items stored in the refrigerated unit will be billed a $25 set-up fee and ½ hour labor each time you need to retrieve these items. There will be a service desk for the full duration of the show which you can visit to inform rpmXPO of needed materials. Refrigerated items are still subject to standard material handling rates.

How much product should I bring with me to the show?

In 2022, we’re expecting around 5,000 fitness professionals to visit the Expo. Review the busiest expo hours above when planning for the largest crowds. Also, typically, Saturday brings more consumers than Friday. Please keep in mind the shipping and material handling fees. Full details on material handling and shipping options can be found in the Exhibitor Kit.

Yes. If your Exhibit Materials are strictly clothing, a special material handling rate will apply. Materials will be unloaded from inbound trucks and delivered to the exhibitor’s booth. At the close of the show, the materials will be picked up from the exhibitor’s booth, taken to the loading dock and loaded on the outgoing truck. There will be a roundtrip flat rate charge of $475.00 per each 10’X10’ space occupied.

What are the union regulations?

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES APPLY IN THE LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER. We are certain you will appreciate knowing in advance that union labor may be required for certain aspects of your exhibit handling. To help you understand the jurisdiction that the various unions have, we ask that you read the following: ELECTRICAL LABOR & PLUMBING Responsible for assembly‚ installation, and dismantling of anything that uses electricity as a source of power to the building electrical system. This includes: electrical wiring, electrical signs, multiple TV and VCR connections, videotaping using multiple video cameras‚ including camera operation‚ audio and lighting. Responsible for all plumbing supplies. This includes: air, water, gas lines, tanks and venting LABOR — UNION The Union has jurisdiction for the operation of all material-handling equipment, all unloading and reloading, and the handling of empty containers. Exhibitors may unload their own vehicles provided they do not use any material handling equipment (fork-lifts, flatbeds, dollies, pallet jacks, etc.) For the efficiency of the trade show as a whole, an area will be set aside for these self-unloading exhibitors. INSTALLATION & DISMANTLE LABOR — UNION All hired labor must belong to Local union. Labor can be ordered in advance by returning the enclosed form, or on show site, at the rpmXPO Service Desk. Three options for installation and dismantle labor exist in Las Vegas. Labor may be performed by full-time employees of the exhibiting company; or hired through rpmXPO, the official general service contractor; or hired through an exhibitor appointed contractor that complies with the local union jurisdiction. PLEASE NOTE: Please do not tip any employee. Do not give coffee breaks (union employees have a fifteen minute paid break mid-morning and mid-afternoon). Any attempt by an employee to solicit a gratuity for any service should be reported immediately to rpmXPO and/or Exhibit Management. Union employees are paid a good wage scale, and tipping is strongly discouraged and is not an accepted policy of any Official Service Supplier. If you encounter any difficulty with any laborer, or if you are not satisfied with the work performed, please bring this to the attention of rpmXPO. Please refrain from voicing complaints directly to union personnel. The person in charge of your exhibit should carefully inspect and sign all work order forms. If there are any questions about any bills, bring the bill to the appropriate Service Desk and discuss it with the person in charge prior to leaving show site.

How do I maximize my trade show investment?

Planning your trade show marketing should start with objectives. So, before arriving on-site, during all of your pre-event planning and preparations, determine what those objectives are and then put into place a system to quantify and measure the results. Tips to Maximize Your Investment: Pre-show: Pre-show marketing is a part of every successful trade show campaign. Never assume customers or prospects that are attending the trade show you’re marketing at will simply stop by. You must implement your pre-show marketing plan well in advance. Build buzz via your social media channels, add information to your website about the upcoming trade show, send personalized emails to invite current customers and attract prospects to your booth, utilize pre-event sponsorships allowing promotion via the hosts’ marketing channels (email, event app posts, daily e-newsletter ads), include a special incentive: exclusive prize raffle for visitors, giveaway every day for those who provide you with their contact information, etc. During-Show: Stand apart from other businesses next to you. According to the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR), the average visitor to a trade show booth is 5-15 minutes. That’s not much time to make a lasting impression or to close a sale before the person walks down to your competitor’s booth. So, have a high impact trade show display and lead generation tools in place such as scheduled demonstrations, contests, and raffle/drawings. Select People who represent the company well to manage your booth: -Someone who is experienced with trade shows -Someone who is engaging and inviting (people matter most - dynamic booth staff is a must) - Choose the people who know your product or service inside and out and know your event goals the best Post-Show: Follow-up: Part of your planning before the show should be putting together a strategy for following up with your leads from the trade show Determine the staff and a process for following up with everyone immediately after the trade show instead of letting the connection go cold without follow up for weeks or months. Making follow up a priority can pay off and cover the trade show investment with increased lead conversion and sales.

Do you have any examples of client success stories?

Yes, we have several testimonials from previous clients: “The expo hall was busy non-stop the entire show. We love the excitement. My advice to new exhibitors is be prepared to interact with an engaged audience.

Now we’re in 17 countries and IDEA is a huge part of that. The show is so great this year. Non-stop. The floor is incredible. You can see every booth.

We really want to be at the forefront of the mind of all fitness professionals and that’s why we keep coming back. IDEA is the best partner we can have." - Johnice Graham, Senior Marketing Manager, Reebok "We are launching our brand in the US (from Australia) and we knew it was important to reach the key influencers at IDEA World.
