FAQ
What is included in my exhibitor space?
Each 10′ x 10′ exhibitor space includes 8′ high back drape and 3′ high side dividers. Exhibitor spaces 300 sq ft or smaller receive a 7″ x 44″ one-line identification sign. Larger spaces may receive one on request.
What is NOT included in my exhibitor space?
Exhibitor space does NOT include carpet or flooring, furnishings, or electrical. All booths must be carpeted. Exhibitors can order flooring and furnishings through the Freeman Online Ordering Kit.
What is an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC)?
If an individual exhibitor chooses to utilize its own contractor (EAC) to provide any of the non-exclusive services that the Official Service Contractor may otherwise perform, you must:
-
Declare it in your booth set up plan by July 1, 2027 [HERE]
-
Provide a certificate of insurance (COI) showing the EAC meets the minimum coverage in the Exhibitor Terms & Conditions
EACs must follow all venue rules and show regulations. NHA provides no insurance coverage for EACs.
What is a Certificate of Insurance (COI), and why is it needed?
To ensure the safety of all participants and protect both your company and the event organizers, all exhibitors are required to provide a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI) prior to exhibiting. This documentation confirms that your company carries general liability insurance, which is essential in the event of property damage or bodily injury during the course of the event. Requiring a COI is a standard industry practice that helps manage risk and ensures that all exhibitors are operating under the same guidelines. Upload your COI in the exhibitor portal by June 1, 2027. Without a COI on file, exhibitors may not be permitted to move in or participate in the event.
Who should be listed as the certificate holder on the Certificate of Insurance (COI)?
National Hydropower Association, 200 Massachusetts Ave NW, Suite 320, Washington, DC 20001
What is the difference between inline and island booths?
Inline Booths are positioned within the rows of CC Central, open to the aisle on one side. These booths provide a defined space to showcase your brand and connect with attendees as they move through CC Central.
Island Booths are freestanding configurations open on multiple sides. With traffic flowing around all sides, island booths offer greater display flexibility and a commanding presence on the show floor.
Do we offer passes for patrons to “walk through CC Central”?
It’s a Clean Currents trademark – attendees and exhibitors love it.
And, all exhibitors are treated as full attendees – even the individuals staffing the booth.
For individuals who are interested in seeing the event and learning more about what the exhibitor experience would be like, we do offer one-day registration options ($795 per person for NHA member companies or $995 for non-members) here.
