Who is exhibiting at the event?
I want to let retailers know about my business, but I don’t want a table. Can I come to the trade show and just talk to retailers on the floor?
No. This practice is known as “suitcasing” and directly harms the business of exhibitors who have paid for space in the exhibit hall. Those found engaging in suitcasing will be asked to leave the show and may be banned from participating in future events.
Who should I contact with questions about the event?
All questions should be sent to info@monumentbuilders.org.
Where can I book my hotel room?

Is there an event services contractor / drayage company?
No. Because MBUniversity has tabletop-only exhibits, there is not a general services contractor.
Where are the conference rules and regulations?
