What is a WBENC Turnkey Booth Package?
A WBENC Turnkey Booth Package is a pre-designed booth which will be set-up and ready for you to access beginning Tuesday, March 19, in the afternoon. All you have to do is arrive with your collateral and team and be ready to network. Choose from either a standard graphics package which features your company’s logo and the 2024 WBENC National Conference branding, or for an additional fee, you can secure fully custom graphics.
Turnkey Booths are available. These packages are add-on packages in addition to the base exhibitor packages.

You may recall that in previous years WBENC made you aware of unauthorized parties contacting National Conference attendees, sponsors and exhibitors about securing hotel rooms for our event. We advised you to be on guard for these “pirates” or “poachers” (meeting industry terminology) who are relentless and might contact you with bogus discounts for hotel rooms or room blocks. Please stay on alert for these inquiries by unauthorized entities with regard to our 2024 conference in Denver, CO as well.
However, we also want to advise you that companies claiming to offer exhibitor services (such as inclusion in an exhibitor directory) have contacted some of our exhibitors from 2022 about the 2023 Conference requesting that they review, verify, and confirm pre-registered data for an Exhibitor Directory for Fairs and Exhibitions.
This request is not associated with WBENC, even though the communication references both WBENC and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council in Washington, D.C. Do not respond to any communication requesting you verify exhibitor registration or any personal/company information.
WBENC will not solicit information to make hotel reservations or request that you take any other action related to the upcoming 2024 National Conference in Denver unless the message comes directly from WBENC, Map Your Show, BlueWater Technologies, Maritz, or our exhibit services provider, Hargrove, Inc., or appears on the official conference website – www.wbenc.org/conference.
