NPE2009 PLANNING TOOL

NPE has a show planning tool, MyShow, to help you make the most of your time and your investment in the event. With thousands of exhibits, educational sessions and networking events packed into 5 days at McCormick Place, this resource makes it easy to focus on what you need to meet your show goals.

MyShow allows you to build your own custom route along with a floor plan showing just the exhibitors you are most interested in visiting. You can
e-mail your map to colleagues also attending NPE to make sure you are not duplicating efforts. Sign up for MyShow through the Exhibitor and Product Search pages, and you can permit exhibitors on your map to start a dialogue with you in advance of the show.
