More than 30 Percent of Trade Show Booths Already Reserved for 2010!
Companies and other organizations around the world have taken advantage of the first opportunity to become a vendor at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Trade Show. The World Games 2010 Foundation launched its trade show advance registration deposit program in October 2007, and already more than 30 percent of available booth spaces have been reserved.As of mid-December, 125 booths spaces had been reserved, accounting for 31.25 percent of the spaces available. Currently, companies and organizations reserving those spaces come from twenty-three U.S. states, as well as Canada and Germany. Approximately 25 percent of companies reserving spaces are located in Kentucky. California and Ohio round out the top three states with companies reserving booth space at this point in the deposit program. The advance registration program allows vendors to make an initial deposit, and secure priority status for selecting a final exhibit location on the Kentucky Horse Park grounds once plans have been finalized. Approximately 400 vendors from around the world will offer a variety of products, services, and information to more than 600,000 attendees. Any and all interested vendors are able to access the registration forms and deposit information on the 2010 Games website, www.feigames2010.org. There, potential vendors can download the program overview and registration forms. All forms must be completed and mailed to the World Games 2010 Foundation with the initial deposit payment. There is no set deadline for the deposit program. "We have had hundreds of requests from businesses that want to be part of the 2010 Trade Show, which is why we are offering this program nearly three years before the Games," said Foundation CEO Jack Kelly. "It allows potential vendors to secure their place on the list, as well as schedule their payments on booth spaces over the next three years." The initial deposit amount is $2,500.00 per booth space. Total prices per space are expected to be $12,500-$20,000 for the entire 16-day event. For more information about the advance registration program, potential vendors can contact the World Games 2010 Foundation staff, at tradeshow@feigames2010.org, or at 859-255-2010 ext. 236.
