Will there be other costs to exhibitors associated with exhibiting?
Yes. Fern has been selected as the official general services contractor for PestWorld 2023. The booth fee includes the hard walls and identification sign. Costs for booth furnishings, carpeting, drayage, and electric will all be additional. Exhibitors will be responsible for ordering these items through Fern.
Please note, all exhibitors are required to have carpet or another type of floor covering in their booth. If you do not pre-order carpet, or provide your own floor covering, carpeting will be forced onsite at the expense of the exhibitor.
When will the Exhibitor Service Kit be available?
Exhibitors will have access to the Fern OneView portal online. All orders for furniture, electric, carpet, etc… will be placed through the online Fern OneView portal. Exhibitor login information and instructions will be sent out via email in late April.

Exhibitors may employ the services of independent contractors to install and dismantle their booths. Written notification must be submitted to Fern at least 30 days prior to move in. Exhibitors must provide evidence that the EAC has the proper certificate of insurance.
Do my installers need work passes?
Everyone that enters the exhibit hall needs an official badge. NPMA is providing security for the hall 24 hours a day throughout the convention. If you need badges for workers that are helping with set-up or tear-down only, please inform NPMA prior to the show or stop by the registration desk on-site and a badge can be made for them at no charge.
How are the space assignments determined?
Space sales are assigned according to the Exhibitor Seniority System. A booth space drawing is held in September, approximately one year and one month out from the convention. Space is awarded by seniority with the companies that have exhibited for the most consecutive number of years having first choice. If a company does not participate in the booth space drawing, space then becomes available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Is sharing space allowed?
No. Exhibitors are prohibited from subletting all or any part of their contracted booth space.
My company would like to do a raffle drawing. Is that possible?
Exhibitors are welcome to hold drawings in their booth to increase traffic. Winners of drawings can be announced during the Friday exhibit hours only. Once an exhibiting company has picked a winner, that information can be brought to the NPMA booth and we will announce the winner and direct them to your booth. We do not make announcements during any other exhibit hall hours as it interferes with communication and dialog on the exhibit floor.
How do I make hotel reservations?
You can make your reservation online by visiting the PestWorld 2023 PestWorld 2023 Hotel & Travel Information.
How do I reserve a hospitality suite or meeting space?
Hospitality suites and meeting rooms can only be rented to companies that are exhibiting at the PestWorld show. If you would like to book space, please e-mail Megan Moloney. She will put you in touch with the proper person at either the PestWorld hotels or the Hawaii Convention Center. You may then work directly with the hotel or Convention Center to secure the space you need.
If you have any other questions, please contact Megan Moloney, Director, Meetings & Exhibits for the National Pest Management Association at 703-352-6762 or mmoloney@pestworld.org.
Is there a place I can meet with my customers outside of the exhibit hall?
Yes! NPMA has 3 Exhibitor Connection Lounges available for exhibitors to use to hold short meetings with customers. The lounges can be reserved in 1-hour time slots with a maximum of 2 time slots per company per day. Lounges are available on a first come first serve basis and can be reserved ahead of time.
