Exhibitor Badge Registration
All exhibitors are required to wear a badge in order to access the show floor during show hours. Exhibitors receive personalized, complimentary exhibitor badges as part of their booth space package.
Exhibitor badge limits are based on square footage:
- 100-199 sq ft = 4 badges
- 200-399 sq ft = 6 badges
- 400+ sq ft = 8 badges
If more badges are required, exhibitors can purchase up to a maximum of 20 additional badges at $25 per badge through MicroSpec.
How to Register for Exhibitor Badges
- A link to the exhibitor registration site plus login instructions will be emailed to your company’s Main Booth Contact by MicroSpec, our registration company starting in July. Watch for an email with the subject line: "The Buildings Show 2024 – Exhibitor Badge Registration."
- After your company has registered your staff, your e-badges will be emailed to you starting mid-November. Please note: the badge will be sent to the email address linked to each individual registration.
- E-badges not received prior to the show can be picked up onsite at the Exhibitor Registration Desk during Monday’s move-in as well as the opening morning of the show.
- As badges are personalized, there will be no exchanging of badges at the Exhibitor Registration Desk.
- You may still register onsite, but we encourage pre-registration online to avoid line-ups. If you have any questions regarding registration, please contact customerservice@microspec.com.

Lead Retrieval - Badge Scanner
As part of The Buildings Show 2024 booth package, every exhibitor is entitled to one (1) lead retrieval device (mobile app or mini scanner) included with your exhibit booth purchase. Additional scanners can be purchased if required.
Lead retrieval helps you easily capture, qualify and connect with potential buyers who attend the show. You can also use the scanner unit to capture fellow exhibitor badges.
BENEFITS
Easy To Use – The Lead Retrieval Scanners are as simple as point and click so you can spend your time talking to potential buyers and not trying to scan their badge.
Accurate Information – Since lead data is linked to the event registration data, you will have access to the most up to date information available; even if updated during the event.
Flexible & Reliable – All of the devices are handheld and battery-operated. This provides you with the freedom to scan a lead pretty much anywhere, not to mention no additional power is required to operate the unit.
Additional Exposure – When you rent a lead retrieval device from MicroSpec your company contact details will appear on the “Who scanned Me” report of the individuals that visited your booth. This unique solution is sent to each attendee post-event and can facilitate proactive follow-up with you by the potential buyer.
Fully Supported Onsite – MicroSpec lead retrieval personnel are on-site throughout the show with fast and friendly service. They care about your experience so their staff walk the exhibit hall during show hours and visit booths multiple times a day. They’re always ready to answer any questions you may have.
