Sharing a booth with a partner
Splitting a booth with a distributor, supplier or sister company is a common way to cut costs, but every show contract below forbids it or requires approval. These rules come from each show's own 2026 or 2027 rules, named in each rule. Ask show management before you plan a shared booth.

- ACT Expo 2027: sharing with approval and a fee
ACT Expo prohibits subletting, sharing or assigning booth space unless show management approves it first. A company sharing your space must sign its own exhibit space contract and pay co-exhibitor fees, and reps from non-exhibiting companies can't work out of another exhibitor's booth.

- Partner logos need approval too
At ACT Expo, only products and branding from exhibiting companies may appear in your booth or on show vehicles. Logos, products or branding from a non-exhibiting company need written approval from show management in advance, and a non-exhibitor piggybacking on a partner's booth counts as suitcasing.
