All PDAC 2020 exhibitors were given priority to book booth space before applications opened to new exhibitors. As we have a limited number of booths on the show floor this year, we cannot guarantee that an exhibitor will be able to book the same exact booth they occupied at PDAC 2020. When PDAC is back to a full capacity in person event, PDAC 2020 exhibitors will retain priority renewal status over the booth space they occupied at PDAC 2020.

Trade Show and Investors Exchange booth assignments are processed on a first-come, first-served basis depending on what date/time the exhibitor’s application was received.

When PDAC receives a request to change the company name on record, additional documentation is required. Please be advised that PDAC Convention Management reviews name changes on a case-by-case basis. Contact Kim Charters at [email protected] for Trade Show or Gillian Blakey at [email protected] for Investors Exchange if you have a name change request.

The exhibiting company on record must occupy the exhibit space and be figured prominently at all times. Exhibitors may contact PDAC to apply for an official name change if they wish to change their name on file. PDAC does not permit double listings or sub-listings for exhibitors with fewer than four booth spaces. If the company on record is found subletting or reselling, they will lose priority renewal for PDAC 2022 and going forward.

Only one company name is listed per booth space in the Convention Program. Please note that the PDAC does not permit sub-listings in the Convention Program for exhibitors that have fewer than four 10' wide booth spaces.

Please visit the Membership webpage for more information on corporate membership classes and fees.

In Person Booth: Each 10' exhibit space includes:

• Four (4) exhibitor staff passes
• One (1) generic All Access Pass to be shared between the four exhibitor staff members
• Four (4)  Online Passes for attendee access to the online convention may be assigned to 4 registered In-Person Exhibitor Staff

Each organization exhibiting in the Trade Show or Investors Exchange has the option to purchase an additional two Exhibitor Staff Passes at $20 each (for a maximum of six exhibitor staff passes) per 10’ booth. Lost passes will be replaced at a cost of $20.00 CDN per pass.

For booth inclusions, please view the online FAQ page or visit the exhibits webpage.

The booth representative must login at http://events.pdac.ca to assign exhibitor staff passes. After login, click on "Register Exhibitor Staff" under the "Booth Management" heading. Booth representatives will have the option to register and substitute exhibitor staff. If an employee does not appear on the staff list, click "Add New Booth Personnel", fill in their contact information and then select "Create New Account". If the email address you enter generates an error message "email is already in use", contact PDAC Registration or 647 362 8442 for assistance.

Once exhibitor staff passes have been assigned, the generic All Access Pass can be assigned to a staff pass holder. If no one is assigned to the generic All Access Pass, the system will automatically assign it to ensure your company is given the correct allotment of passes. The booth representative can reassign this pass at any time. This process is for pick up purposes only. After the generic All Access Pass is picked up you can share it among your staff members. Please note that the All Access Pass does not provide access onto the show floor, it must be accompanied by an Exhibit Staff Pass.

Once the allotted number of exhibitor staff passes for your booth has been assigned, the option to add additional exhibitor staff passes (2 per 10' exhibit space) at $20 CAD each will appear. If you require more passes than what is allowed with your exhibit space, you can submit your request to PDAC Registration for approval.

To obtain an invoice or receipt for exhibitor booth fees, booth representatives must login to their profile here and click on "Exhibitor Invoice/Receipt" under "Booth Management".
