Search the Show

You can pinpoint exactly who you want to see at the show by searching by exhibitor name or product category. From the myGPS home page, choose to:  

  • Search by Exhibitor: If you want to find a particular exhibitor, utilize the exhibitor search by typing in the company name or filtering the list alphabetically.
  • Search by Product: Use our extensive product category search to discover all of the companies who offer the products you’re interested in.
  • Search by Featured Exhibitors: To get a closer look at a company’s products you may want to view the Featured Exhibitors to see detailed product displays and live video presentations.

On the bottom left of the floor plan, use the zoom tool at any point to enlarge the floor plan. When scrolling over booths on the floor plan, the exhibitor name and booth number will appear. By clicking on a booth, additional exhibitor information will be available to you.

Once you've entered the interactive Floor plans, you can see all these search options by rolling over the ‘Search the Show’ tab at the top left corner and page.
