Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ #1: How does the booth assignment process work?

IDDBA is not asking for booth choices on the exhibit application right away. Instead, we will e-mail exhibitors in batches (in points total order starting at the highest) asking for your choices in November, December, and January. Assignments will be made in points total order with the highest total points being assigned exhibit space first, then the company with second-most points, and so on, until all booths are assigned. Non-members will be assigned after IDDBA members. You will be notified of your booth assignment by a confirmation letter that will be emailed, beginning in January (depending on when you ranked your choices).

No booth assignment will be made until we have received a signed, completed exhibit application and full payment for the booth space.

In the event of a point “tie”, the tiebreaker will be based on the date the full payment and completed 2020 exhibit application were received at IDDBA.

FAQ #2: What is the points process and how do I make it work for me?

Member companies can earn booth points, registration points, and day points. The booth, registration, month and day points are added together to determine your turn for booth space assignment. This total points number is what is used when making booth assignments for the applications received between June and October 31st.

Booth Points:

You will earn 10 points for each 10’x10’ booth space for the previous year and for the current year. Example: If you had a 10’x20’ booth in 2019 (20 points) and a 10’x30’ booth for 2020 (30 points), you would earn 50 total booth points toward your 2020 booth assignment.

Early Application Points:

Additional 10 points earned per day for turning in exhibit application while at show site for the 2019 show. Example: 40 points if turned in on Saturday, 6/1; 30 points if turned in on Sunday, 6/2; 20 points if turned in on Monday, 6/3; 10 points if turned in on Tuesday, 6/4.

Registration Points:

You will earn 3 points per registered person from your company that attended the 2019 show in Orlando, FL.

Membership Points:

You will earn 10 points for IDDBA membership for previous year and 10 points for IDDBA membership for the current show year.

Month Points:

You will earn 10 “month points” for each month your payment and completed application is in our office starting in June through the end of August 2019. Maximum “month points” to earn is 30.
(3 months x 10 points = 30 maximum possible month points)

Day Points:

You will earn 3 “day points” for every business day your full payment and completed application is in our office from September 1st through October 31st. Maximum “day points” to earn is 129.
(43 business days x 3 points = 129 maximum possible day points)

FAQ #3: Is there any help out there for a U.S. company that wants to export internationally?

Food Export Association of the Midwest, Food Export USA Northeast and other USDA-funded State Regional Trade Groups, can assist companies who wish to explore or expand their exporting capabilities by providing financial support for exhibiting at tradeshows, including the IDDBA show 2019.
