One complimentary “exhibit booth only” registration is included with each 10’ x 10’ exhibit space reservation paid at the full rate. Please DO NOT register your complimentary exhibit personnel until IBTTA issues you the complimentary checkout code(s) for the individual(s) staffing your booth (one per 10'x10' space). This complimentary benefit will be emailed with your exhibit confirmation. Look for an email message with subject line "IBTTA Maintenance Workshop (New Orleans) - Important Information about your Exhibit Participation." There is no limit to the number of people you may have in your exhibit booth. If you have any additional personnel that will be solely staffing your exhibit booth for this meeting, please remember that the rate for an “exhibit booth only” exhibitor is $600 (member) / $750 (non-member).

The “exhibit booth only” registration includes all meals during the meeting and the Evening Event on Monday night. This registration type does not include sessions, technical tours, or participation in special functions incurring an additional fee. Exhibitors wishing to attend the full meeting should register as Delegate. Each member of your exhibiting staff MUST complete the online attendee registration form.

“Exhibit booth only” personnel wishing to attend the technical tour or community service project may register for those special activities separately. (See meeting web site for details.)

Sign up to Exhibit: Close of business, Monday, April 20, 2026.

Exhibits Set Up: Sunday, June 28, 8:00 am - 3:00 pm.

Exhibitors will be able to meet with attendees during the same hours that meeting registration is open. In addition, dedicated time with exhibitors is scheduled as follows:

(All times are in Central Time.)

Once you complete and submit the exhibit reservation form, IBTTA will generate an invoice and send it to you for your convenience in facilitating payment for your exhibit booth space. Look for an email message with subject line "IBTTA Maintenance Workshop (New Orleans) - Important Information about your Exhibit Participation." The invoice will also be accessible to your organization's primary contact under “My Organization’s Invoices” when logged in to their IBTTA profile on the IBTTA web site. Payment must be made prior to the event either by credit card (online only) or by company check or wire transfer.

Your company description and brand will be printed in the event program.

On the reservation form, you will have an opportunity to provide your statement, which must be no more than 150 words and submitted as a single paragraph with no bullets or other formatting. Your web URL will be added to the end of the paragraph, so it is not necessary to include reference to your web site in your statement. When you reserve your exhibit space, you will also be asked to upload a high resolution (300 dpi) vector-based version of your company logo. IBTTA will use this to raise awareness of your company as an exhibitor on the IBTTA 2026 Maintenance, Engineering and Roadway Operations Workshop web page and meetings app.

IBTTA will also provide exhibitors with a official IBTTA "we're exhibiting" conference graphics to share on social media.

While you will find that your exhibit participation may be recognized very soon after your reservation is submitted, IBTTA reserves the right to withdraw your exhibit listing at any time if full payment is not received prior to the event.

Shipments should be delivered to arrive no sooner than Friday, June 26.

FedEx Material Handling

The exhibit area is located in the Celestin Ballroom FGH on Level 3 of the Hyatt Regency New Orleans. IBTTA will be assigning exhibit spaces from paid exhibit reservations received on a first-come, first-served basis. Your crew will be directed where to set up your exhibit upon arrival on Sunday, June 28.

There will not be an exhibit space numbering system for the IBTTA Maintenance, Engineering & Roadway Operations Workshop. Instead of exhibitors requesting preferred spaces, IBTTA staff will be assigning the exhibit positions a few days before the event and coordinating logistics on site. We will work with the hotel staff to fulfill any of your special order requests by referring, not to exhibit booth numbers but, to the names of the exhibiting companies. The exhibit floor plan will not be finalized until all exhibitors have signed up, so exhibitors will not see a floor plan prior to the show.

For set up on Sunday, June 28, your crew will be directed to your exhibit space upon arrival.

For this event, a maximum of one Single Phase 20 Amp Power Drop will be included per each exhibiting company. Special requests (e.g., equipment rental, internet service, additional power) may be ordered by using the order form from the hotel's in-house service group.

Please click on the Terms & Conditions button below.

Terms & Conditions

For Linear Booths: Among the important policies to respect is the consideration that all exhibitors must remain within the confines of their own space and no exhibitor will be permitted to erect signs or display products in such a manner as to obstruct the view or disadvantageously affect the display of other exhibitors. Take a look at the diagram below for guidance on adhering to the line of sight rules.

Basic Booth Display

IBTTA has not contracted with an exposition services company for this event. There is no shell scheme or pipe and drape installation for this event. Each exhibit space measures 10’ x 10’ (approx. 3m x 3m) and includes a regular draped banquet table, two chairs, and a waste basket. If you plan to build a constructed exhibit display, please contact IBTTA with details of your plan. Exhibitors should not go forward with finalizing designs for their build until IBTTA has approved your booth design to ensure compliance with size and scope restrictions.

Yes, exhibitors will receive updated lists of the registered attendees on a weekly basis beginning the week of June 1, 2026. This list is provided as a benefit to and for the sole use of sponsors and exhibitors of the 2026 IBTTA Maintenance, Engineering and Roadway Operations Workshop. Upon receipt of the weekly list, exhibitors may not re-circulate to any other non-sponsoring group or representative.

IBTTA does not supply any complimentary exhibit hall passes, but exhibiting companies may purchase “exhibit show only” attendance at $100 per person for local contacts to visit their booth.

This would give your potential customers an opportunity to visit with you during Lunch in the exhibit hall on either of the two days:

• Monday (12:30 pm – 2:00 pm) OR
• Tuesday (12:00 noon – 1:30 pm)

No one may enter the exhibit hall unless they have registered with IBTTA, and the “exhibit show only” attendee may only participate on one of the two days during that specific period of time. The rate is $100 per person per day (lunch only). Contact Terri Lankford to make arrangements.

(All times are subject to change.)

In addition to your organization being recognized as an exhibitor on the web site, meeting app, and printed program, once full payment is received by IBTTA, IBTTA will provide exhibitors with the official IBTTA conference graphic to share on social media, in corporate newsletter blurbs, and for attendee email messages.

The 2026 Maintenance, Engineering & Roadway Operations Workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana. The cut-off date to obtain the IBTTA negotiated hotel rate is June 5, 2026 or until the IBTTA room block is sold out. Please visit www.ibtta.org/NEWORLEANS for reservation information.
