Exhibitor move-in and move-out dates are targeted and based on booth size and location within each hall. Color-coded target move-in and move-out floor plans can be found on www.CESweb.org/Manual and can be downloaded at your convenience.  Keep in mind they will be updated approximately every two weeks to reflect changes. You can request a change to your target move date by emailing GES at CESfreight@ges.com. Please note that additional charges may apply if your target date is altered.

The earlier you make reservations, the better chance you have at getting the hotel rooms and rates you want. Visit our hotel reservations page to access participating hotel websites, book rooms and receive real-time hotel confirmation numbers. If you require a group room block (10-20 rooms or more), each hotel will respond to you within three business days regarding rates, availability and confirmation deadline.

Questions regarding hotel reservations can be e-mailed to CEShotels@ce.org.

Starting in late July, you can register your booth staff online.

In order to receive badges in the mail prior to the show, please register all booth personnel by December 7. After December 7, badge delivery cannot be guaranteed due to holiday mail delays.

For assistance, please contact CES Customer Service at 866-233-7968 or via email at exhreg@CE.org.

You are entitled to five badges per 10x10 space with a minimum of 10 badges. Once you have exceeded your allotment there will be a $10 per badge charge. Please contact CES Customer Service at 866-233-7968 with questions.

International CES begins mailing exhibitor badges in October. Registering before December 6 helps ensure you receive your badge by mail before the show. If you register after December 6, the International CES will still mail your badge, but cannot guarantee delivery because of holiday mail delays. If you do not receive your badge by mail, please report to one of our on-site registration areas.

If you registered prior to December 5 and have not received your badges, don't worry! If you do not receive your badges prior to the show, you may pick them up on-site at one of our many registration areas. Exhibitors can pick up badges and badge holders on-site in Las Vegas beginning Saturday, January 5. Contact International CES Customer Service with questions by email at exhreg@CE.org or by calling 866-233-7968 or 703-907-7605. If you are setting up a booth prior to January 5, stop by one of the temporary badge pickup desks for a temporary exhibitor badge.
