Our booths come in 10' x 10’ increments (due to the electrical grid under the floor). 10' X 10’ booths are $240.00 for the weekend. Tables are available in 4’, 6’ & 8’ lengths. Fabric back wall, carpet, electricity and chairs are all available.
The Expo Center has two halls: D & E. Paid entrances are at Hall E and Hall D (front & back of D), so exhibiting in either of the halls is very comparable.
For such a large show, you’ll find that it is a pretty easy show to do. Your badges, floor plan and set-up information are mailed to you two weeks before set-up. Set-up always takes place in two stages: Thursday is ‘drop & go’ day from noon to 6pm. This is your chance to get close to a door for easy unloading, drop your merchandise in your booth and depart. Friday is full set-up and Early Admission day. Hours on Friday for the March & October show is 10am to 6pm. Set-up for the July show takes place as follows: Outside booths start at 8am. Inside booths start at 11am and we close at 7pm. You’ll find that Friday can quite often be as productive as Saturday. There are fewer customers, but they are extremely qualified and can make the difference between a good show and a great show.
Public hours for all shows are Saturday from 9am to 6pm and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. Exhibitors are admitted one-half hour prior.
Space location requests: The contracts for the next Portland Expo become available at the previous one (i.e. In July, contracts for the October show are available). We give previous exhibitors a date by which they need to get their contract in to be in the same booth. After that date we assign open space on a contract by contract basis starting with the first received.

The Antique & Collectible Show at the Clark County Event Center. The dates are January 21 & 22, 2012. Drop & go takes place on Thursday, January 19th with full set up & early admission on Friday, January 20th from 10am to 6pm. Attendance last year was just over 6,500 and the word on the floor was that people were buying! Clark County residents have claimed this show as their own and they’re anxious to spend money in their community. However, we have two markets to draw from and advertise in Portland as well as Vancouver, using The Columbian, The Reflector, The Daily News, The Oregonian, radio stations that work well for us for the Expo, ads on American Pickers, Pawnstars and American Restoration as well as any other programming that relates to collecting. These programs do show our industry in a very intriguing light, which has definitely sparked interest in buying vintage. We have a very active website as well as Facebook & Twitter sites. And, in year seven, we now have a very large email and physical mailing list of people who have attended during those years. We think we’re about to enjoy a resurgence in the industry as long as the trends are noted and we offer the customers what they want today.
