Each exhibitor will have a Staff Badge & Guest E-Ticket Portal assigned to them.

Use this Portal to:

1. Register your exhibitor badges for staff working in your booth during Show days
2. Send out guest e-tickets to customers, friends and family

For detailed instructions on how to use the Portal to register your staff badges or send out guest e-tickets please refer to this How-To PDF. If you have questions, please contact OOAKoperations@informa.com.

Exhibitors can register their staff names in the Exhibitor Badge portal up until 5:00 PM ET, Friday, November 21, 2025. After that, any new names or changes must be made onsite.

Exhibitor staff badges are exclusively for staff working in your booth during show days. If you wish to bring a family member or customer to visit the show, please use one of the complimentary admission tickets available in your e-ticket distribution portal (see details below this section).

Please note the following about Exhibitor Staff Badges:

• Exhibitor staff badges allow the bearer access to show facilities during show move-in, show days and move-out.
• Exhibitor staff badges are exclusively for staff who will be working in your booth over the course of the show.
• Each badge must have a staff name listed on it (the word ‘Staff’ is not permitted and won’t be printed).
• Exhibitor staff badges will not only display First and Last Names along with Company Name, but you have the option to include Pronouns (eg, She/Her/Hers etc.)
• Exhibitor staff badges must be worn at all times and be clearly visible to security personnel who will scan your badge each time you enter the exhibit hall.
• Each Exhibitor has been allotted 6 complimentary badges. Additional badges can be purchased ($20.00 + HST ea.) either online from within the badge registration portal or onsite at the exhibitor badge desk located beside the Box Office. Refer to page 5 of the How-To PDF to learn how to buy badges online.
• If you have any staff helping you during move-in and/or move-out who will NOT work in the booth during show days, they don't need to be registered here. They will be issued temporary badges onsite during move-in/move-out.
• If you do not yet know all the staff who will be working in your booth during the show, you can register some names now before the deadline (5:00 PM ET, Friday, November 21, 2025) and the others onsite when you move in.
• Lost staff badges are subject to the following replacement fee: $20.00 + HST ea.

Each exhibitor will receive TWENTY complimentary General Admission E-Tickets in celebration of OOAK's 50^th Anniversary, which can be distributed from the exhibitor’s personal ticket portal. If you resigned at the Winter 2024 Show, you will receive 10 bonus tickets on top of your allotted 20. Important note: tickets MUST be distributed electronically to guests and cannot be held for pick up onsite at the Show.

• Each ticket admits one individual.
• The ticket allows unlimited re-admission to the show for all days; however, it must be accompanied by ID matching the name on the ticket. The recipient can change the name on the ticket at any time, up until the ticket is scanned for the first time at the show
• Exhibitors can purchase additional guest tickets right from within their Portal.
