A Valuable Opportunity for MHEDA Members

The Exhibitor Showcase is your chance to spotlight your company’s products and services directly to Convention attendees, including leaders from the industrial truck, storage & handling, and systems integrator communities.

Booth reservations open Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT, when the online request form goes live on the MHEDA website. Submit your form right away to secure your booth selection time slot—forms are time-stamped, and booth assignments will be made in the order received. Once your slot is finalized, MHEDA will email you with your scheduled call-back time.

Booth space is limited and sells out quickly each year, so plan ahead to reserve your spot and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to connect face-to-face with decision-makers who are eager to discover how your solutions can help their businesses succeed.

Note: Exhibiting in the Convention Showcase is a member only benefit.
