Exhibitor Services Manual - NEW!
We are thrilled to announce that Shepard is launching a new exhibitor portal, ExhibitorPro, in January 2025! This innovative platform will streamline exhibition logistics and make ordering for your booth easier than ever. To ensure a smooth transition, we will hold off on sending the full exhibitor manual until the portal is live.
If you’d like to place orders before January, you can do so by contacting us at SHAREShowMgmt@share.org or reaching out to Shepard directly at orders@shepardes.com. Once the portal launches, any pre-January orders will automatically be reflected in your ExhibitorPro account. Rest assured, if you wait to place orders until the new portal is launched in January 2025, you will not experience any delays and all booth deliverables will arrive in a timely manner.
Thank you for your patience as we introduce this exciting new tool! If you have any questions regarding this process, do not hesitate to reach out to us and we will be happy to assist you.
