Exhibitor and the Home Builders Association of Greater Chattanooga (HBAGC) agree as follows: Request for Booth Space. Exhibitor hereby requests that the HBAGC grant to exhibitor a lease for booth space at the Trade Center for the Home Show in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
I/We hereby agree to all items outlined in this Agreement, as well as all items outlined in the Rules and Regulations and Exhibitor Information located on the Home Show Website at www.homeshowchattanooga.com. I/We agree to pay HBAGC for the booth space rented, in accordance with the payment schedule outlined in the Rules and Regulations. I/We have sent the deposit payment with this Agreement.
1. Booth Location. To be placed on the center aisle, you MUST have a minimum of 2 booths; those reserving larger areas (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 booths) will be given preference to their location. Booth locations can be viewed on the Home Show website at www.homeshowchattanooga.com.
2. Booth Placement. Placement in any of the desired choices is NOT GUARANTEED. The HBAGC determines booth placement according to what it believes, in its sole discretion, will be in the best interest of the Home Show and the HBAGC. We will try not to place you near your competition. Sponsors and companies that have the most booths will be given preference to their booth location. Once large booths are placed, the remaining booth requests (those with 3 or fewer booths) will be placed in order by the earliest date that the HBAGC received the finalized contract, along with payment.
3. Deposit and Full Payment. To reserve a space in the Home Show, Exhibitor shall deposit with the HBAGC the sum of Two Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($200.00) per booth, no later than December 12, 2025. All deposits are non-refundable. There may be booth availability after December 12, 2025, but booths are not guaranteed. There will be no refund for booth space after January 2, 2026. There is no guarantee for Home Show participation until the final payment and the signed contract are received. Final payments are due to HBAGC by January 23, 2026. Payment for Booths may be made by check or credit card; however, there is no discount for using either payment method.
4. Floor Plan. HBAGC reserves the right to make changes to the overall Home Show floor plan and/or Exhibitor’s preferences for this booth, or booths.
5. Forklift Use – HBAGC will provide a forklift and driver. These are available to exhibitors on move-in and move-out days; however, not each day. A schedule for each forklift and driver will be provided by HBAGC two weeks before February 13th. You must email hgunter@hbagc.net in advance to schedule this service.
6. Use of Booth, Assignment, and Subletting. Exhibitor does not have the right to allow anyone other than Exhibitor to occupy or use the booth space. Exhibitor may not assign or sublease the booth space for any reason to any person without the express written permission of the HBAGC. Exhibitor lease includes a booth space of 10 feet by 10 feet. All materials, employees, décor, displays, and signage must remain within the space. Overflowing into the aisle or in front of the booth is not permitted.
