Onsite Meeting Room Rental Policies
Eligibility
• You must be an official HITEC 2026 exhibitor to submit an onsite meeting space request.

• If your booth space is canceled for any reason, all meeting space must also be cancelled, and you will not be permitted to hold events during HITEC.
Exhibitors are responsible for all arrangements and payments related to their meeting room or event. The HITEC Exhibits Manager will introduce the facility event coordinator for assistance with room set details. All other services may be ordered through the GES Exhibitor Service Site (Expresso).
