SHOW DECORATOR | FERN EXPO COMPANY

Vendors are responsible for flooring (required for all booths.) You may supply your own tables and chairs or rent from the show decorator. An advanced purchase discount is offered.

As a vendor, you will automatically receive an introduction email from Fern with instructions on creating your password in OneView.

After you’ve logged on and created an account you will be able to order services online using OneView.  Please e-mail Fern Exhibitor Services at exhibitorservices@fernexpo.com should you have any questions or if you need to have the introduction e-mail resent.

SCAM WARNING

There have been a number of spam emails offering our attendee lists. These are scams and the senders are unauthorized to use the Marketplace Events’ name. These scammers are attempting to receive monies from exhibiting companies without providing anything in return. These emails are not approved by Marketplace Events, and Marketplace Events would never ask for bank information or other sensitive information over email.
