How does MATS keep my costs low?
We focus on keeping the overall cost of exhibiting low and therefore the return on investment high. Just a few examples:
- Exhibit space costs well-below other shows and include discount tiers for larger booths.
- Exhibitor services such as drayage, electrical, internet, etc. priced below the industry average.
- Booth personnel badge, VIP registration, and parking pass allotments included.
- Smaller exhibitors can self-unload at the curb (must enter through designated move-in doors).

- Louisville, KY is an easily accessible, centrally located, and low cost city.
Most importantly, with the entire industry in attendance, you will engage with your intended audience in one location and meet your goals for one low price.
