Attendance Policy

This industry-exclusive policy ensures maximum attendee relevance.

Qualifying attendees at the door saves exhibitors the time and effort it takes to do so after the show is over. That means our exhibitors don’t spend valuable follow up time sorting through heaps of business cards, separating trick-or-treaters from buyers. They can sort potential customers by industry segment, get through the qualifying process more quickly, shorten closing times and increase the number of lead conversions from trade shows.

Our focus is on producing solid sales leads for our exhibitors and sponsors, not filling the venue with unqualified individuals in order to boast attendance numbers. We believe that any number of solid sales leads from relevant contacts gained at a trade show, whether they were culled from a fish bowl of one hundred business cards or fifty, is the true measure of trade show success.

Each attendee must be currently employed in the Event Focused industry and must present proof of current employment before being granted admission (eg. business card, recent pay stub, current company ID).

Our Policies

We promise to protect your investment. The shows in ExpoDFW’s Event Series are not for everyone. There are many companies that support the industry but serve no purpose within our expo. We screen all attendees to maximize your time, because it’s precious and you paid a lot of money to get here and display your products and services!
