2022 Booth Events & News Conference Schedules

Now accepting reservations for booth events and press conferences.

EXHIBITORS: Reserve Your Time Slot for 2022!

Exhibitors wishing to hold a booth event or a press conference should look for an available time slot on either schedule below, as well as one or two alternative slots. Please email your request (including name, company and contact information) to Dan Sweet, Director of Public Relations and Communications.

Booth Events

We schedule booth events 30 minutes apart. This will allow each company to make a 20-25 minute presentation, and then allows the media five minutes to move to the next event. This doesn’t mean the media will stay for your entire presentation.

Press Conferences

News Conferences will be scheduled for one hour each, starting at the top of each hour. However, you must complete your press conference in 45 minutes – including questions – to provide you time to break down your event and allow the next group to prepare themselves. We have used this system for many years, and I appreciate that everyone has followed this rule.

Also, the HAI Communications Team is scheduling the News Conference Room for Communications Training Event on Thursday, March 10. This training will be available to member companies, except the first time slot, which will be available to everyone.

News conferences will take place in Room D222 at the Convention Center and are reserved for one-hour events. We do not expect any changes to the layout or provided equipment in the room from previous years, but more information will follow as we get closer to the show.
