Visitor Tips

We want you to make the most of this year’s show. Here are a few tips to help!

How Much Time?

We have found that most browsers need a couple of hours to tour the exhibits. Because the Show gives you a chance to shop and compare in one place at one time, even the most focused visitor can lose track of time. Please arrive at least two hours before closing time to take full advantage of all the exhibits.

What to Bring?

With so much to see, be sure to bring paper and pen so you can take notes. Bring any relevant measurements or material names to assist you when talking shop with suppliers and contractors. Because children may tire from walking, we encourage the use of strollers and backpacks.

What to Wear?

The Von Braun Center is air conditioned so visitors can feel comfortable in shorts as well as long pants. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of ground to cover.

Can We Eat at the Show?

The Von Braun Center offers a food concession area during the show.

Where Can I Get Help?

You can check at the Show Office in the South Hall Lobby at the Von Braun Center.
