Where do I get exhibitor badges?

Four (4) exhibitor badges are included with your booth/bulk rental. Additional badges may be ordered on your WVHS registration form for $8.00 each. Badges need to be picked up on move-in days at the show administrator’s office (outside arena A). If you need to get your badges prior to move-in, please call the WVHS administrator at 304-744-2200 to make arrangements.

What is included in my booth or bulk space rental?

The booth and bulk space includes drapes for back – 8 ft., drapes for sides – 3 ft., 1-110 electrical outlet, 2 chairs, 4 exhibitor badges, and wireless internet during the Show. All other items are available for purchase.

Can I order Home Show tickets?

Yes. If you are an exhibitor, advance tickets are an additional item included on your WVHS registration form. Otherwise, contact the Charleston Convention Center at 304-345-1500 for more information.

Why can't I get a front space?

The policy of the West Virginia Home Show is that the exhibitors from the previous Show year will have an opportunity to renew their space prior to selling to anyone else. The WVHS administrator will take your front row requests; should that position become available you will be notified.

I don't want my booth space to be beside my competition, how will you handle that?

The WVHS makes every effort not to place like companies beside each other. We realize you want your conversations with potential clients to be private. However, it could happen if your company waits to sign up for the WVHS when space is limited.
