BOOTH SALES ARE NOT YET OPEN. Booth sales for returning and new exhibitors are planned to open in Spring 2024.
2024 booth sales will open in 2 phases:
Priority Sales: Priority Sales will be open to 2023 OPTECH exhibitors ONLY. If your firm exhibited in 2023, information has been emailed to your exhibitor contact and updates will be emailed as we approach the opening of booth sales in May 2024. If you did not receive information, or your exhibitor contact has changed since Nov. 2023, please email Melissa Rowan at mrowan@nmhc.org.
New Exhibitor Lottery: After Priority Sales are complete, any remining space will be assigned to new exhibitor firms selected in the New Exhibitor Lottery. Space will be limited. If you are a new exhibitor (any firm who did not exhibit at OPTECH in 2023) and wish to exhibit at OPTECH, please read the information included below in the “New Exhibitor Lottery” section of this webpage to learn how to participate.
- The lottery is open to NMHC member firms and non-member firms. NMHC member firms will be pulled first (in order of membership level), followed by non-member firms.
- New exhibitor firms will only be eligible to reserve a 10’x10’ booth space or Startup Kiosk only.
- Lottery results will be emailed to firms after the lottery is complete, following the entry deadline.
- If your firm is selected in the lottery: NMHC will email the contact listed on your form applicable instructions, deadlines, and a link to the online exhibitor application. NMHC will assign booth space to new firms in the order their exhibitor application is received, until space runs out.
- If your firm is not selected in the lottery: Your firm will be moved to the wait list pending any cancellations. NMHC will email the contact listed on your firm should any space become available.
New Exhibitor Lottery: Deadline April 26, 2024.
After Priority Sales are complete, any remaining booth space will be assigned to new exhibitors (any firm who did not exhibit in 2023) via lottery.
Firms on the 2023 exhibitor wait list that were not assigned a booth space do not qualify for Priority Sales and must participate in the New Exhibitor Lottery.
