With the December 19 deadline for exhibitors to complete submission of booth badge credentials just days away, we’ve been fielding some common questions about booth personnel and badge requests. To help our exhibitors and their staff with this process, we’ve compiled this list of frequently asked questions.
Q: I’ve already registered myself, but I didn’t get a password and I need to register the members of my staff who will be working the booth. What should I do?
A: Email your request to the 2015 SHOT Show management at regmgr@shot.convexx.com and the password will be emailed to the company’s contact person.
Q: I do not know how many registrations my company has already used. Where can I go to find out?
A: When you sign into shotshow.org/apply and enter the Exhibitor’s Dashboard, it will tell you how many registrations your company has used and paid for.
Q: Is there a limit to how many badges my company can purchase?
A: No, but we believe your booth allotment should cover all your booth personnel. If you need additional badges, the cost is $50. Booth badge allotments are as follows:
- Booth size 100-150 sq. ft. = four badges
- Booth size 200-250 sq. ft. = six badges
- Booth size 300-350 sq. ft. = eight badges
- Booth size 400-550 sq. ft. = 15 badges
- Booth size 600-850 sq. ft. = 20 badges
- Booth size 900-1,150 sq. ft. = 25 badges
- Booth size 1,200 sq. ft. = 30 badges
- Booth size > 1,200 sq. ft. = 30 badges plus one badge for each 100 square feet of booth space beyond 1,200.
Q: A couple of my employees have relatives who have offered to volunteer to help in the booth greeting people and stocking. Can I get booth badges for them?
A: No. Booth personnel badges are reserved only for verified company employees and authorized personnel. If you need to hire additional booth help for the show, you must complete the Exhibitor-Appointed Contractor (EAC) form. Those approved EACs must apply for their own wristbands each day of the show in the Level 1 Lobby of the Sands Expo Center near the entrance to Hall G. Schedules and regulations for EACs can be found here. Temporary staffing can also be hired through our partner vendor Convention Staffing Solutions (CSS) by clicking here.
Q: I’ve had some staff changes since I submitted the credentials for my staff booth badges? How do I change the badges?
A: Changes to personnel can be made online at shotshow.org/apply until the badges are mailed (in late December—remember, the deadline for submitting credentials for exhibitor employee booth badges is December 19). Once mailed, changes must be made on-site.

Our company has an NSSF ID. MY son and someone else will be traveling not my self and my husband who the membership seems to be under. Do I have to get each of them an NSFF membership to get the discounted rate?
Debby,
If you have a retail or range membership then your son and other employee can go as your employees at the discounted member rate. If it is an individual membership, they would have to present documentation that they are involved in the industry. If you have any other questions please call our membership staff at 203-426-1320.
