Requests for special voltage will be handled on a first come, first served basis due to limited locations and current available.

Power strips are available to order this year. However, exhibitors may provide their own.

Around conference time, you may start receiving emails or other messages from companies claiming to have our conference attendee lists for sale. These are usually scams, so just be alert, and please let us know if you receive any of these emails or messages. Arkansas SHRM does not send any emails about our conference attendee list.

Booths will be assigned as registrations and payments are received. Care will be taken to avoid locating exhibitors next to competitor’s booths with like products and services. Final booth assignments will be communicated before the conference. Booth assignments will be published in the digital brochure and mobile app.

Each booth should be staffed with at least one company representative during all Exhibit Hall hours. Please keep in mind that premature tear down of exhibit booths distract from the overall merit of the Conference and could potentially be a safety hazard.

There will be a contest for the best booth design that incorporates the conference "1980s theme.” Decorate your booth to encourage attendees to stop and visit. The booth voted as having the best theme display will win $100!
