New For 2019: All-In-One Pricing

You asked, we listened! In response to your feedback, your IBIE 2019 booth space and material handling are bundled together into one flat price. What does this mean for you?

• Easier Budgeting – Because it is part of your booth fee, your material handling cost will be accounted for from the beginning. No bill at the end of the show means no surprises for your budget.
• Unlimited Material Handling/Drayage (Direct to Show Site ONLY) – Bring as much freight as you want—it’s all included in your booth space rate. The more you bring, the more you save. And the more product attendees can see first-hand—the more they buy.
• Lead Retrieval Included – In addition to material handling, your price also includes lead retrieval options (1 device or 3 mobile licenses) for a turnkey experience for your booth staff.
