EXHIBITOR LISTING

As an exhibitor of AXPONA, your first impression is your company listing found on the Exhibitor List. Through the Exhibitor Resource Center you have the opportunity to add as much information to your company listing as you’d like; simply choose the “Company Listing” button once logged in. 

Enhanced Exhibitor listing example:

On your company listing, you can include:

  • Company Description
  • Product Categories
  • Brands
  • Social Media links
  • 5 Products
  • 1 Promotion

And if you’re interested in upgrading your listing to shine against the others, you can purchase the Enhanced Listing, which will display your logo on the Exhibitor webpage and Event Guide. With the Enhanced Listing, you can also add a featured to your profile, share up to 20 Products and Promotions.

Any company listing that adds products or promotions will have an icon on your listing to attract attention (see example). 

If you add the brands that will be joining your booth or listening room, your company will be featured on our Brand List, both on the website and Event Guide. To be included in the Event Guide, you must add your brands no later than January 30, 2026. If you have a brand that needs to be added to the dropdown, please email [email protected]

    COMPLIMENTARY INVITES

    Did you know that you can invite guests, your network, and customers to attend AXPONA? The Exhibitor Resource Center (ERC) has everything you need to invite and register your guests and your team to AXPONA! 

    Once you log into the ERC with your company access code, there are two opportunities to take advantage of:

    COMPLIMENTARY TRADE PASSES

    Each exhibitor gets up to 5 trade passes to invite any industry members to the show. Those who redeem these passes will get admission to the Industry Welcome Mixer on Thursday, April 9 along with other Trade and Exhibitor passes. When choosing this option in the ERC, you will be given a unique promo code that you can share with who you’d like to invite. You can also check to see how many people have redeemed your code, and how many passes are left. Those who redeem this pass must be a member of the Audio Industry.

    COMPLIMENTARY ONE DAY PASSES

    Each exhibitor gets up to 10 One Day passes to invite any guests, customers, friends, or family to the show. After clicking the option in the ERC, you’ll be directed to find your company in the drop-down and create a password to access this section. Please make sure to save your password, as the AXPONA team doesn’t have access to it and will only be able to reset it for you otherwise. Once logged in, you can send an email invitation, check the status on how many redeemed and available tickets you have left, and keep track of who you have sent it to.

    For any questions on either complimentary passes, email [email protected]
