FAQ

Good to know.

Still have questions? Send us a note and the team will get back to you.

Does my space come with a tent or structure?

Every space includes basic flooring, power, tables, chairs and GA passes (see the packages above). Tents, structures and custom builds aren't included. Bring your own, or ask us about activation services.

Will we have Wi-Fi at the venue?

Internet for exhibitors is available to purchase through our PartnerHQ platform. You can choose your connection strength there and pay by card.

What environment should we expect?

All four days are busy, loud and fun. With multiple competition stages, 2,500+ athletes, hundreds of volunteers and 40,000+ attendees, it's one of the largest fitness celebrations in the world.

Exhibitor areas are high-traffic zones between the stages, so expect loud music and stage announcements.

Is parking provided?

Parking in and around Miami Beach is very limited, and there is no reserved parking for exhibitors.

Can we bring a media team to cover our booth?

Non-professional, non-flash photo and video cameras are allowed for personal use only. All cameras must be handheld, with interchangeable or telephoto lenses no longer than five inches.

When will we know our booth location?

You'll receive a final exhibitor map with your booth location before load-in.
