Exhibit Information
Booth space is sold out. We are currently managing a waitlist for 2017. To add your company to the waitlist for booth space, please e-mail [email protected]. As booth space becomes available, those on the waitlist will be notified.
Booth Selection Process
- Initially, booths were offered to 2016 exhibitors based on cumulative priority points (the re-sign rate is approximately 80%).
- Next, current EDUCAUSE members are offered an opportunity to secure booth space.
- After members are offered booths, we will extend offers to those on the waitlist in the order in which requests were received.
- Finally, if booths are still available, they will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- NEW for 2017! EDUCAUSE 2018 Booth Selection will take place online prior to EDUCAUSE 2017, rather than the traditional onsite process. See details.
Note: Members receive priority over nonmembers for booth selection and waitlist position. Learn more about EDUCAUSE Corporate Membership.

Appointments will start September 26, 2017 and run through October 2017. You must be a member in good standing in order to be prioritized to sign up for booth space, which means your member dues should have been paid by July 1. Nonmember appointments will follow members.
