GENERAL INFORMATION
  • SHOW WIFI: CAA rents WiFi through Drury Lane for the show so that it's free for all exhibitor companies. The network name and password are distributed the day of the show. The service can sometimes be spotty and CAA is not involved with it in any way, so if you have an exhibit that relies heavily upon WiFi, please bring your own hot-spot set-up.
  • PRE-SHOW & POST-SHOW ATTENDEE LIST INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS
BOOTH STAFF/BOOTH STAFF NAME BADGES

You will need to add the names and titles of all of the people from your company that will be working in your booth into the "In the Booth" tab of your Exhibitor Plus account. Your Exhibitor Plus account is tied to your account in Map Dynamics. A link to set up your account in Map Dynamics was sent to your admin contact after your company secured a booth in our show.

  • Click here to be taken to the login page of Map Dynamics (where you will need to sign in using the login credentials set up specifically for Map Dynamics)
  • Map Dynamics is different software that the CAA website's software; the login credentials for Map Dynamics may therefore may not be the same as the ones created for CAA
  • EVERYONE at the show must have (be wearing) a name badge
  • Questions about your Exhibitor Plus account? Contact Leida Perkins (leida@caapts.org) at CAA (312) 207-1890 ext. 6
SHOW HOTEL INFORMATION

CAA is unable to secure room blocks at nearby hotels for out-of-town exhibitors (due to our inability to fill room blocks in previous years). However, the two hotels listed below are located within walking distance (one on each "side" of Drury Lane's parking lot).
