Application For Exhibit Space

Our exhibitors tell us that the Decorated Apparel Expo is their favorite trade show for the embroidery and screen printing industries. There are many reasons why exhibitors feel this way. It's not just because the DAX show gives you one of the best "cost of leads" ratios in the industry. (cost of leads = cost of show divided by number of leads generated) It's because of the entire DAX experience. If you haven't exhibited at DAX yet, you'll just have to imagine a show where there are no union labor requirements, the door security people smile and speak English, and the staff take a genuine interest in your well-being. The exhibit hall is carpeted, we negotiate with the decorator to offer deeply discounted booth furnishings for your use, and due to our smaller format, attendees stop to visit with you, instead of walking past like "deer in the headlights." We'll provide you with lunch on each show day*, morning coffee, and a Friday night party where you will get some food and enjoy an opportunity to talk with attendees.

Many of our exhibitors tell us that DAX is both their favorite show, and their most profitable. Check our exhibitor list, and if you know somebody who exhibits at DAX, ask them what they think of the show. They'll tell you more about our show than we can.
