TRADE SHOW BOOTH SALES AND SPONSORSHIPS COMING SOON

2026 BOOTH PRICING: $2,000 PER 10' X 10' BOOTH | SPONSORSHIPS STARTING AT $1,500

The trade show will be held in the ballroom on the fourth floor which is carpeted. Each booth will include a 6' table with black drape, two chairs and perimeter drape in black.

Booth sales and sponsorship opportunities will open in early 2026. Please view the sales process below.

- First, vendor companies are contacted in order of 2025's total spend (on conference, advertising and sponsorships) and offered sponsorships. Sponsors then select a booth.
- Second, remaining sponsorships are offered to all TSSA vendor members, regardless of total spend. If a vendor chooses a sponsorship at this time, they may choose a booth.
- Third, any remaining booths are available for purchase.

The trade show sells out quickly, so we encourage you to secure a sponsorship in order to select your booth early. For questions, contact Holly Barr at holly@txssa.org if you are unsure where we are in the sales process.
