What is the space cancellation policy?
The cancellation policy is outlined in the Rules and Regulations. Deposits are fully refundable through February 23, 2026.
What is the recycling fee?
To ensure the long-term success of the NPE Recycling Program, our show committees—comprised of fellow exhibitors—worked with us to develop a sustainable funding model that was voted and approved on August 8, 2025.
In 2018 and 2024, this program was complimentary, thanks to generous sponsors and NPE’s support. To maintain and expand its success, particularly with our objective of achieving a 100% diversion rate, the costs have grown.
As a result, we are implementing a flat fee for recycling services for all exhibitors. This fee, along with sponsor support, will secure the program’s future and help us advance our sustainability goals, keeping plastic materials in the circular economy and out of landfills.
The fee for your booth will be based on its size:
- 10′ x 10′ booths: $100 flat fee
- Booths larger than 10′ x 10′: $200 flat fee
Thank you for your support in making NPE2027 a more sustainable and impactful event for everyone.

Why attend the in-person Space Selection and Planning event?
Space Selection and Planning is when companies pick a specific booth location on the floor plan. The order of selection is based on the lottery conducted in December 2025, based on prior show history and PLASTICS membership. We provide a schedule in advance with guidelines on the date and time your space selection time is anticipated, so, while you are welcome at the entire event, you do not need to spend a full week out of the office.
Beyond selecting your booth, the event will have numerous show partners available to discuss booth orders, promoting your presence, and more. For the 2026 event, additional education sessions will be held to facilitate your booth planning process and cover topics like how to take advantage of advanced order deadlines to minimize costs.
If you are unable to attend, we do offer a concierge program to help you select your booth without attending in person. Additional details about the concierge program will be available in late 2025.
