The Trade Show will close at 2 pm on Thursday, January 29, 2026. All exhibits may begin tearing down at this time. Please do not dismantle your booth before the close of the show. Early dismantling will jeopardize participation in future Trade Shows.

We are committed to providing the cleanest, healthiest environment possible for all our guests. We will have hand sanitizer available for all exhibitors and attendees at the registration desk.

The booth layout can be found here. The standard booths are 8’ deep by 10’ in length. Our exhibition contractor will provide an 8-foot backdrop for each booth with 3-foot side drapes between booths. Two chairs and a table will be furnished for each booth at no extra charge. A dual outlet 110 power source and identification sign will be provided for each booth at no additional cost to the vendor. All additional requests need to be made directly to the Three Rivers Convention Center at 509-737-3703 or on this form.

Booth equipment may be shipped directly to:

Badges for those staffing the booth or those attending the Conference can be purchased online at www.potatoconference.com for $20.00 pre-show and $40.00 during the show. All exhibitors and attendees MUST wear their badge at ALL times.

No name badges will be pre-printed. All badges will be printed on-site at Registration or in the Show Office in the Three Rivers Convention Center. No one will be allowed to enter the Trade Show without their badges, so if you have booth staff working later in the week, they can print their badges at the time of their arrival at Registration.

The Conference board has worked with Tri-Cities area hotels to negotiate Conference rates for vendors and Conference participants. Please follow the link for hotel information.

The Three Rivers Convention Center has advanced security systems in place. The Conference board will make every effort to safeguard the exhibits, but can assume no liability for loss or damage occurring during the time of the Show. Exhibitors are cautioned to provide safeguards on valuable merchandise and provide insurance coverage as they deem necessary.

As we prepare for another successful Conference & Trade Show, we want to share a few important reminders to ensure a positive and secure experience for everyone:

1. Securing Valuables – We strongly encourage you to store any valuable items under your table at night to help prevent loss or theft. The event organizers are not responsible for unattended items.
2. Professional Conduct – We are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all staff, volunteers, vendors, and attendees. Threats, harassment, or any inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated and may result in immediate removal from the event and jeopardize participation in future shows.

Thank you for your cooperation in making this a great event for all. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
