Freeman
Freeman is the official general services contractor for NAFSA 2023. Fully paid exhibitors will be sent the Freeman Exhibitor Service Manual (ESM) to plan their booth furnishing and set-up. Additional resources provided by Freeman are listed below.

Exhibitor Appointed Contractors
Should an exhibitor choose to hire a general services contractor outside of Freeman (known as an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC)), the exhibitor will be required to complete the necessary paperwork and provide additional insurance information for said EAC. Requests for further information on EAC’s should be directed to [email protected]. All EACs will need to be approved by NAFSA staff at least six (6) weeks prior to the show.

Additional Assistance with Installation/Dismantling
During installation and dismantling hours, the only personnel allowed within the exhibits hall are exhibitors (with proper credentials), convention center staff, and general service contractor staff (previously approved by and confirmed with NAFSA staff). Should an exhibitor require additional assistance from a colleague not attending nor exhibiting at the conference, the exhibitor will need to get prior approval from NAFSA staff. For further information, please contact [email protected]. All additional staff will need to be approved by NAFSA staff at least 30 days prior to the show.

Registration

Exhibitors will receive two (2) complimentary registrations for every 10’x10’ (100 sq ft) booth space purchased. The booth contact manages its group’s complimentary registration allotments as well as additional exhibit booth staff who will pay for registration. If the exhibitor also has Global Partner (GP) and/or sponsor complimentary registrations, these complimentary registrations are included in the group's overall exhibitor allotment. The booth contact invites staff who will get the exhibitor, GP, or sponsor complimentary registrations through the exhibitor staff invitation site. Registering through the exhibitor registration system identifies additional staff members as exhibitors on their name badges. This is a necessary credential for accessing the show floor during installation and dismantling hours, and before the show floor opens to attendees each day.

Housing
Exhibitors will be able to book within the NAFSA housing block when it opens. See Housing for more information on hotels within this block.
