No, space rates for members were initially held at the 2025 Show level. The Tariff Relief Program announced on July 1 actually lowers the space rate for members by $4.00 / ft².

If you want to exhibit at the 2026 Show but have questions about your location or size of your booth, whether that be expansion or reduction, you should still submit the signed space application AND note your desire for change. Provided IHA receives the signed space application and payment(s) by the cut-off dates, the discounts will still apply. During the space assignment process, it will be important for you to work closely with your IHA Sales Manager to ensure that your requests are met.

If a signed space application and / or the payment for space is not received by the Advance of Early deadline dates, Regular 2026 Space Rates will apply. The $4.00 / ft2 Tariff Relief discount applies to all member rates.

Corner Charges for the 2026 Show remain unchanged from 2025.

• $450 per corner

Keeping or forfeiting seniority depends on the refund:

• If IHA retains money paid for space originally reserved for the 2026 Show and the amount owed was paid in full, then the seniority number is retained for one year.
• If IHA does not retain money paid for space originally reserved for the 2026 Show or if the amount owed was not paid in full, then the seniority number is forfeited.

Please access the Exhibitor Portal to complete the Space Application.

Yes, any company that submits a signed space application and makes full payments by the deadline dates qualifies for discounts, dependent on membership class. In fact, the earlier we know of your intention to exhibit, the earlier you will be assigned, which translates into securing a more desirable location.

The Space Application contains all Terms & Conditions of exhibiting. Please review before signing and submitting to IHA. Links to the Terms and Conditions can also be found in your Exhibitor Portal for easy reference.
