Navigating the show
[Tip] Take the time to create a walking list before you get to the show and sort it by booth numbers to avoid walking the same aisles too many times.
[Tip] Booth appointments aren’t necessary, and it’s customary to have drop-ins. However, if you want to ensure you speak to a specific person, it’s best to reach out in the weeks before the show to schedule a meeting.
[Tip] Ensure that your badge is flipped the correct way before you walk up to a booth so they can see your name.
[Tip] Download the mobile app, available this fall, to leverage matchmaking opportunities and book meetings with exhibiting companies.

Other helpful tips
Baggage check
Complimentary baggage and coat check will be available. Check back for the dates and times. The line can be long leading up to the Expo Hall opening, so try and drop your bag early if your schedule permits.
Dress code
Attire for SupplySide West is business casual. Temperatures fluctuate in meeting rooms so bring layers. And remember, the Expo Hall is large and concrete — bring multiple pairs of comfortable shoes and alternate the days you wear them to avoid blisters and foot pain.
Bring your water bottle
Bring a reusable water bottle! Water stations will be available throughout the show floor and public space to refill your bottle. Be sure to drink plenty of water during the event.
Places to eat
Two concession stands are available in the Expo
space for convenient and quick options.
The food court offers grab-and-go options, including a Subway that is open 24 hours if you need a late-night snack!
If you are wanting to go to dinner at one of the restaurants on property, make a reservation in advance. The hotel is very busy with other guests and restaurants get booked quickly.
